rubber tree plant ,leaves falling


Question

Answer
Madonna,

Be very careful not to overwater it, make sure the surface of the soil is dry before you water it again. You should not be watering more than once a week and an hour after you water you should empty the drain tray with a turkey baster. It hates sitting in a swamp. Move it next to a south facing window with curtains or blinds open all day. it desperately needs the sun. Let me know how it is doing in a month. Good luck.
