As it is in the picture is EXACTLY how it was when I got it. No new leaves have come out, the new leaf hasn’t unfurled anymore or grown and what looks like a new leaf bud also hasn’t changed at all. Is this normal? And if it isn’t, what shall I do? Cut off the new ones and hope it starts to regrow? ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/yLDu3iJEYRZVXVRo9zfyNPc59S4aChmjXUl3QrwQC-E/JSfsjxGgQKiNS3XleyLg7g.webp?size=large) ## 12 commentaires ### Jay a commenté le 2024-03-02 Unsure if this will help, my tineke did the exact same thing until i put it into a warmer, more humid environment, mine was also under a grow loght and didnt like it, how cold does it get in ur house, and where is it growing? #### Stephanie ha respondido el 2024-03-02 It doesn’t get too cold, it’s winter here at the moment so the central heating is on, so the house is never really cold. And it was in the windowsill for a while but now it is on a little table that is light but doesn’t get direct sun. I had heard that rubber plants were relatively quick growers, this one is the complete opposite! #### Jay ha respondido el 2024-03-02 They are quick when they are in the right environment, it might need to be getting some more sun, do you fertilize? #### Stephanie ha respondido el 2024-03-02 I haven’t been fertilising no because it’s in new soil so I didn’t think I’d need to at the moment? #### Jay ha respondido el 2024-03-02 I still fertilize even w/ new soil, i would suggest trying it to see if it does anything, i fertilize with 1/4 of the reccomended dosage every time i water, and mines thriving. I use miracle grow indoor houseplant food, and it says 4 pumps per 32oz so i use 1 pump into an old 16oz plastic water bottle and water that way! #### Stephanie ha respondido el 2024-03-02 Okay lll give that try. So you wouldn’t recommend cutting off the ‘new’ leaves that haven’t done anything? _2 réponses supplémentaires dans l'app_ ### letsfindjoy a commenté le 2024-03-02 Probably just slow growing bc of winter time when plants normally slow down growth. My rubber tree has been the same way. It should pick up again in spring. #### Stephanie ha respondido el 2024-03-02 Fingers crossed it does 🤞🏻 ### Tigerlilly a commenté le 2024-03-02 mine has grown consistently since I got it. it’s about a foot away from a south window so it gets direct sunlight and it is so happy there! #### Stephanie ha respondido el 2024-03-02 Okay maybe I’ll try it in more direct sunlight then and see if that helps! --- _La communauté Planta (https://getplanta.com).
