Is Rubber Tree prone to disease and parasites?

Ficus Elastica can be attacked by red spider mites and scale insects. Inspect its foliage regularly for their presence. In this case, remove the parasites with Super Neem Oil solution and a soft cloth, and spray the foliage more regularly to increase atmospheric humidity.

Ficus Elastica is also sensitive to lack of light, excess water and draughts. If this happens, its leaves turn yellow and eventually fall off. If necessary, adapt your watering routine, try to bring it closer to a source of natural light or move it away from fresh air.
