# Something shifted in my household last night. All of my rubber plants…

_Posted by Mphmike on 2024-06-20_

Something shifted in my household last night. All of my rubber plants have reacted.

I can’t explain what.

Jr ( first photo) he’s tilted over the new growth.

And the others have curled their new leaves

???

They’re still curling over!! I tried flipping them back up but I think the leaf is too heavy for the stem.

Idk what that means for the plant, or its environment. It has been very humid as of late.

Only time can tell, I’ll keep you updated tho! 🫶🏻

In the second photo (Neal) his leaf seems to have grown like that???? It’s very stiff in its position and won’t bend back up. It just makes me more curious!!!

### Mphmike commented on 2024-06-22

It’s also tilted back into position

I want to believe that it curled over to protect the young from the harsh sun these past few days

Good to see Jr and Neal are ok 😌  
I was too curious about this and had to google it 🤣 Apparently, it’s a sign of stress and can be caused by changes in temperature, so harsh sun would do it. Also can be under/overwatering, pests, light… all that fun stuff us plant parents deal with!
