I haven’t watered it since. But also shortly after we watered it, the LA fires happened…do you think I can save her? She looks droopy and less vibrant in color.

Is the soil still wet at all? #### Stephanie님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. No #### Kades님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. I would water it and give it a few days ### David님이 2025-02-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. How far is this from a window? My first recommendation would be to place it within 2 feet of a window since they need a lot of light #### Stephanie님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. It’s about 20 feet away from the window! I just moved it closer. We have a lot of indirect sunlight that comes into our living space but now that it’s winter, it makes sense I need to move it closer to the window ### Phil님이 2025-02-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. If soil is still wet, I would take it out of the pot and help the soil to dry out. Check the roots while you’re at it too. #### Stephanie님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. I’m going to bring it to the nursery today. Maybe it needs repotting? I’m scared to water it because it looks droopy and I remember someone at the nursery said if it’s droopy it means you’ve overwatered it. ### Bebe🌵🤍님이 2025-02-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. I would take her out of the pot and check the roots and go from there depending on root health #### Stephanie님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. That’s exactly what I will do! I’m bringing it to the nursery today for some help because she’s my first plant ever and I’m a novice at this! ### Stephanie님이 2025-02-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. I repotted it in a bigger pot. The soil was so dry…partly due to me neglecting it for the last 2 months. I think she wasn’t watered for 6 weeks. Where has the time gone? I’m a first time mama to a toddler and also we were going through the LA fires. Ruby is doing much better. Watered her until she drained from the hole. She’ll be relocated to a place closer to the window. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bJH8_nqOxHUINlXY79-UWuFBQfLbFbGJALRFrHa5M1k/SzzYMofuQAWU6j6oLgyKUQ.webp?size=large) #### Bebe🌵🤍님이 2025-02-06에 답변했습니다. I am so sorry to hear that you’re dealing with the LA fires! I can’t imagine how challenging and scary that must be, especially as a first time mama! But I’m happy to hear your plant is doing well! Every time I buy a rubber tree, it always comes with a surprise gift of spider mites, so I 1000% recommend you treat for pests like neem oil for precaution! Much love💗 #### Stephanie님이 2025-02-06에 답변했습니다. Thanks for the tip!! And thank you for your kind words! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
