# I recently had to repot this amazing 9-year-old Burgundy Rubber Plant…

_Posted by StefC on 2026-09-29_

I recently had to repot this amazing 9-year-old Burgundy Rubber Plant that I bought a couple of years ago. . Many of the roots were showing at the top and the plant was leaning terribly. The plant was thriving in the spot otherwise. I repotted in a pot that is a little bit bigger. Ever since, I have lost several leaves. They turn yellow and die. What do you recommend?

Probably just shock are the leaves you are loosing the old leaves?

I think they were sort of older leaves.

Did you water when you repotted?

Yes.

Is the soil still wet?
