Hi!

I have had my rubber plant for about 5 years and over the past 2/3 months it has been very very limp and leaves turning yellow and dropping off, although this seems to have stopped but it is still very limp.

I have not changed how I care for it so I don’t understand. It was by an open window for my cat but has been for about 2 years and was fine. It kept drying out very quickly and but I always watered it. There didn’t seem to be enough soil so I have bought house plant compost and topped it up about 2 weeks ago but no improvement. I have now moved it away from window and into a warmer brighter room....can I save this plant? I’ve had it a long long time!

Can you upload a close- up picture of one of the leaves? Are there any small insects on the leaves? Check especially the bottom leaves underneath. I might be incorrect but we had the same problems a few weeks ago and it turned out to be some sort of infestation.

You need to take the plant outdoors and take the plant out of the pot and get a feel and a look at the roots. Is the soil very dry, or very wet, after you find out, tell us which you have, "too wet or too dry"?
