\"Rubber<\/p>\n

Beautiful and classic rubber plants or Ficus elastica, are popular houseplants among the masses. These plants gained traction during the Victorian era and are still going strong, all thanks to their beautiful structure and big, bold leaves and foliage. The leaves are biggest in size when the plant is young, and shrink as they mature.<\/p>\n

But sometimes, these same beautiful, rugged, and bold leaves can develop brown spots or patches. The situation is quite alarming and can happen due to a variety of reasons. In this article, I will discuss with you all why your rubber plant leaves are turning brown and what you can do to fix it.<\/p>\n

TL; DR:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The leaves of rubber plants turn brown mostly due to irregular watering, sunburn, old foliage, and root rot. To fix the problem, you need to address the cause first. Unfortunately, the leaves that have already turned brown won\u2019t get back to their former glory. But if you can manage to treat the cause in time, you can prevent the rest of the leaves and foliage from meeting the same fate.<\/strong><\/p>\n
