Hi everyone!
I recently picked up this lovely (but neglected) rubber tree for a deal from my local florist. At the florist it was under fluorescent light and looked like heck. When I got it, it was covered with up to a half a centimetre of dust on the leaves! The pot was easily 10 pounds heavier than it should have been, as it was totally drenched in water. I wiped it down and put it in a sunnier room to enjoy some recovery time.
Overall it has been doing okay since coming into my apartment, however has dropped about 4 leaves and this is what is happening to some of the remaining ones! Does anyone have some advice for me? Is it residual from the overwatering? Am I dealing with root rot? Does it need repotting?
My guess is that I shocked it in many ways with the travel, the dusting, the sunnier room and letting it dry out a bit.
Currently it is by an east facing window with indirect light during the day. As I'm in an apartment, the only other window it could be by is north-west facing with lots of hot afternoon sun. Based on my research of rubber trees I think this is the best choice for me, however let me know if you believe otherwise!
Any help is extremely appreciated!!!
