Rubber Plant Losing Leaves
About a month ago I got a rubber plant. It looked healthy and had leaves from top to bottom. It has recently lost a lot of leaves from the bottom. At first I had it in a shady room but have since moved it to a brighter room as i was told it was not getting enough light. However the leaves continue to drop off. Any help on how to revive my plant most appreciated.
There is a photo if you click on the link below. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3125/...985ab6d4_o.jpg Thanks Neil |

Next time leaves fall off maybe this will help: http://tinyurl.com/8welxl |

I thought it was all one plant. So what's the way ahead? Should I repot and discard the "sucker"? |

It's tempting to water an ailing plant--be careful about overwatering, especially during winter. I have not had any success air-layering rubber plants, but this procedure is mentioned in many books. |
