# My rubber tree plant is occasionally dropping leaves that look…

_Publicado por Green lover el 2025-01-14_

My rubber tree plant is occasionally dropping leaves that look totally healthy. In addition it looks like little roots are coming up above the soil. I water it once per week with distilled water and humidify for 2 hours once per week, it has doubled in height but is also spread out alot from when I first purchased. Planta said 48% probability it’s a watering problem but not sure. Please anyone that can help. Thanks

My plants roots do this too and it’s usually the ones that are in looser soil. I don’t know why they do this, it doesn’t seem to affect my plants leaf health or such it just looks weird.

Mine do the same thing occasionally. No clue why. Perfectly healthy looking leaf too. 🤷🏻‍♀️
