rubber tree dropping leaves - February 11th, 2004 at 10:30 PM
hi all.... I need your guidance. a year ago I inherited a beautiful rubber tree. it is about 8 feet tall - and has begun to drop its leaves! when I moved it home, there was no trauma dropping, thank goodness - however, when I moved into my current apartment ruby (I named her!) got a little angry and dropped a bunch of her leaves.
and now she has begun to drop a bunch more to the point where she is looking very leggy, and I'm worried that she has half the leaves she had when I inherited her. I'd be devestated if this tree were in peril.
the room I have her in should be perfect - she gets a lot of light all day long. the only thing I can think that she doesn't like is that it is a bit chilly in there, and we've had one of the coldest winters on record here in boston. could that be affecting ruby?
any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks a million!
