Please help! This was so beautiful and full of lush dark leaves like 2 weeks ago 😭 now the leaves are splotchy, droopy and dropping like crazy. How can I save this?

Is this a rubber plant? Mine likes to be by a window. Check soil/roots. Might need to let that soil dry out a little and offer more light

#### Kayla님이 2025-07-16에 답변했습니다.

It is! I keep it by a window when it’s indoors during the colder months, and summers I usually put it on my back porch. I typically let the soil dry out in between waterings because I know overwatering is easy to do with these (at least that’s what I’ve read).

I recently repotted it into a smaller pot because the root ball did seem smaller than I remembered it being last year but I didn’t see any visible rot

What is your care routine? How often do you water? How much light is it getting?

#### Kayla님이 2025-07-16에 답변했습니다.

I keep it by a West/Southwest facing window during the winters and summers it’s on my back porch (same direction). It gets plenty of bright indirect light, with a super brief period of direct light while it’s on the porch. And I let it dry out in between waterings. It’s been thriving all year up until just recently and I don’t know what changed

Looks like a fungal infection maybe?

#### Kayla님이 2025-07-17에 답변했습니다.

That’s what I’m wondering? I’ve never had a plant get any type of infection before so I have no clue how it happened or what to do with it 😂

Idk how it happens. Maybe you can research that. But I do know you can spray fungicide on it. Follow the directions on the bottle
