The last 3 new leaves my Rubber Plant has made have been small, much more warped/mis-shapen, and red. I haven't changed anything in her routine. She's always been in very good health, generally. Any ideas?

Consider a humidifier or sitting plant on a pebble tray.. I’m sure it needs higher to assist in the unfurling of the leaves

Also some leaves may come in small but eventually get bigger. My rubber plant has done the same thing and I keep it on a pebble tray. My leaves unfurl perfectly but some are just smaller than others

My rubber tree is a bug whisperer, have you inspected for pests yet?
