How long has it been in water?

if you have a pothos or tradescantia, consider pruning them and placing the cuttings together. both plants produce excess rooting hormone and will help your ficus elastica root. i’ve also found that most species root faster in a semi-hydro setup with perlite versus true hydroponics.
