Signs of Cold Stress in Rubber tree
Symptoms
Rubber tree favors warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. It flourishes best when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, it should be maintained above 60℉. If the temperature drops below 50℉, foliage may lose some color. Following frost damage, the color progressively shifts to brown or black, and signs like wilting and drooping might appear.
Solutions
Remove the sections damaged by frost. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm setting for protection from cold. Select a location near a south-facing window for the plant, ensuring plenty of light. Furthermore, avoid positioning the plant near heating units or AC vents to prevent excessive air dryness.
