Will he be stay happy in these conditions? Such a nice colour I bought it yesterday and repotted with added perlite.

Man, a week ago I would have been proud to show off my Leo but a couple days ago he just dropped all but one leaf literally overnight!! He seems so healthy otherwise so I don’t know what upset him so. 😞 I think they just don’t like to be moved when it turns cold…??
0件のいいねWhat is it, rubber plant? How cold was too cold?
0件のいいねMine is outside, but I live in Florida. It is in a pot, so if it gets cold, I can bring it inside.
0件のいいねThat is very cold for a tropical plant. It is not necessarily a death sentence but it will slow if not fully stop growth and you will need to be very mindful on your watering schedule as cold and wet will lead to root rot.
0件のいいねIt is a ficus shivereana. And I’m only talking down to maybe 65 degrees F
0件のいいねIt’s also known as a moonshine rubber tree they love indirect light and lots of it. They need to be about 50% wet down to 25% wet because they are a tree. I’ve had mine for a little over a year and she is grown substantially. They don’t grow fast and they don’t grow very big. They’re like the mini version of the rubber tree but looking at the conditions that you have it and I’d say it should be OK. I keep my room where she’s at about 75° down to 68° at all times and I have not repotted her since I have gotten her they love to be root bound because they are a tree. Good luck.
