Hello all!
I have a rubber plant tineke and have some concerns with leaf drop. I've noticed the 3 stems looks to be "petrifying/hardening" right above the soil line. I recently purchased the plant 2-3 weeks ago from Armstrong and potted with new soil so I'm lead to believe I am doing something wrong. I live in Southern California so the temperament is warm and my living room receives a decent amount of indirect light. I water the plant roughly once a week and try to avoid over watering. I had a dracena that experienced root rot, so now I may tend to under water than over water.
I am not sure what is causing the "petrifying/hardening" of the stem but I'm concerned that I may be doing something drastically incorrect leading to the plant to wither and die
Any thoughts or insights I'd greatly appreciate!
