help! I got this rubber plant about 6 months ago and I think it was a bit shocked when she moved in so it dropped a ton of older leaves. I don’t know if I should take off the leaves that have damage? Would cloning paste work to regrow some of the dropped leaves? Also is this garden pot too small for how big the plant is? I didn’t want to repot it when it was dropping leaves. The new growth is doing super well, no problems unfurling leaves and they don’t appear to have any damage.

    I think its going to be ok, new and healthy grow is always a good sign, about the pot, I recommend you to check the roots first, and for the ugly leaf and the grow hormones, that’s up to you, and what you think is best for the plant, the space and conditions that you have and the state of your roots, lots of roots, use the hormone, not enough, take leaf out

    The white parts browning is fungal. I’ve had a whole batch of these brown and drop leaves because the leaves got wet. Looked exactly like this and even tho I stopped getting the leaves wet, the browning spread. I would get some neemMax and do a soil drench to clean the soil of any fungal probs and spray some copper topically.
