Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting in this forum because you need to know that I am the absolute worst gardner/plant caretaker EVER! I had an african violet and it recently passed on. And, I couldn't revive it, even though I know that they are a very low maintainence plant. So, I need your help with my rubber tree. I also got it because we had them at work and they seem to be somewhat low maintainence.
So, here we go. My Rubber Tree's name is Scott. I named him 'cause I started talking to him and my puppy (Cookie) when I recently became a full-time homemaker (DF's idea)... anyway, I get bored and heard that you should talk to your plants and I thought he should have a name.
So, one day I was sitting on the couch and Cookie brought me one of Scott's leaves and I freaked out. I thought she was hurting him but it turns out, on the back side of the plant, closest to the wall, some leaves had turned orange and a couple had fallen on the ground. Later, the orange leaves also fell on the floor. I made sure Scott wasn't too close to the heater, moved him away from the window... heard that you should wash his leaves with a sponge so I did that... and the ground is somewhat moist. But, his leaves still have been falling off.
Advice pllllllllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeee!
