# I’m looking for some advice for my Ring of Fire. To preface this…

_Posted by Hannah on 2024-03-24_

I’m looking for some advice for my Ring of Fire. To preface this plant has been repotted, fertilizer, grow light, window, and scoured/treated for any pests over the last year i’ve had it. I bought it with more leaves and i actually trimmed off some older leaves to even out the root to leaf ratio. i’ve had no growth at all. i don’t know what the thing in the middle is because it’s not a leaf. it won’t grow and it doesn’t shed any old material. it used to be more red but it’s slowly been fading. i added a humidifier right next to it to help loosen just in case it is a leaf but nothing. i don’t want to get rid of it but i also don’t know what else to do. Thank you for reading 🫶🏼🩷

How do the roots look? Can you see them around the sides of the pot? I’ve had some plants that spent a LONG time filling in their roots before they even thought about growing a new leaf. That middle part will eventually develop into the next new leaf, but it can stay at that stage for a long time

i actually just repotted it and the roots are nice. it’s in a smaller pot to fit the rootball
