# I have a rubber plant who was thriving for months, then after…

_Pubblicato da Elizabeth ✨🌱 il 2024-03-09_

I have a rubber plant who was thriving for months, then after repotting, it is not looking so fabulous. It’s been about a month since the repot and it’s getting all sad and droopy on me 👎🏼 I recently added rocks to the bottom of the pot to help with drainage in case of overwatering. If there is anything else I should do please let me know 😬  
Pardon the sink ✋🏼 it’s watering day

You recently added what to the bottom of the pot? How big is the pot compared to its root ball? You only want to go 1-2 inches larger. What type of soil is it in? Are you physically checking the soil moisture before watering and only using the app as a reminder, snoozing when necessary?

So sorry I am late 😬 in order:  
Rocks  
A few inches larger than root ball  
Moisture control potting soil  
Finger check about 2 inch deep before watering!

If we want to be specific on soil, this is what I used
