# Hello everyone! I’m new to this, but I really need your help if any…

Hello everyone! I’m new to this, but I really need your help if any can offer. My families rubber tree appears to be in terrible condition. I’m trying to restore it back to its beauty and get its leaves back. It lost its leaves this year.

Are you sure it’s still alive? Check bark and roots for signs of life.

Not sure to be honest. But I just changed its potting soil and made some cuts that’ll hopefully promote growth. Hopefully that helps!

Recommend you remove the other plants competing for nutrients and water. Plants with aggressive and efficient roots can kill a tree.

Thank you, I have. Hopefully she turns out alright!
