I’ve changed the soil/pot twice and moved it twice all in hopes of giving it the best conditions to thrive. In this current spot it has been here for around 4-5 weeks. It sits about 2-3 feet away from a FET grow bulb receiving 3000 lux for 12 hours a day. I do fertilize when i water. Currently it sits in an aroid mix 30% perlite, soil and orchids bark. I am wondering for those who have had success growing this ficus what should I be doing different? Any advice appreciated thank you so much! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0ZS8lSsnmRB2JP680Mrb3ejWC_xXyMiDnux9vU2wI7M/-vcaii20QMyJYJ5JiQFzKg.webp?size=large) ## 9개의 댓글 ### Kades님이 2024-08-20에 댓글을 남겼어요. I find these to be super picky. They really like bright bright indirect light (10-20k lux). I would either try to get another bulb or find a higher rated bulb. You could move the bulb closer too but I don’t think you’ll get enough output. Mine hates being moved and wants to be as far from any vents as possible. I have mine in sun gro cactus soil and it seems to like it. I wouldn’t repot it just make sure the soil dries out in between watering. I only fertilize every other water but that’s just personal preference. #### David님이 2024-08-20에 답변했습니다. Thank you so much! I will look into getting a stronger bulb then 👍 How fast has yours been growing in these conditions? #### Kades님이 2024-08-20에 답변했습니다. I probably get a new leaf every 1-2 weeks or so in the growing season, but I also have four plants in one pot. I notched mine this spring and repotted a month ago so it’s a bit shocked at the moment. I’ll show you some photos of how I’ve had it in the past etc. #### Kades님이 2024-08-20에 답변했습니다. Current set up. She’s a bit scraggly looking at the moment 😂. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/2dvZ_5A_7vsoNrC5ussMCoDg3zG2-CETUIZaHjm2mMY/-KumtX1qSxm_YrCb69ZcPw.webp?size=large) #### Kades님이 2024-08-20에 답변했습니다.

Somewhere in the middle. Dropped a ton of leaves after bringing it home. It was near a vent and not getting nearly enough light. Put out a leaf maybe once every other month? ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/2dvZ_5A_7vsoNrC5ussMCoDg3zG2-CETUIZaHjm2mMY/uYlGxMzVTnigY4PpwOGa_A.webp?size=large) ### FloralSaratonin님이 2024-08-20에 댓글을 남겼어요. They can be sensitive sometimes so they don’t love being repotted and having their roots messed with. They also go through periods where they won’t grow a lot. I’ve had some of mine for 2-3 months that haven’t put off a ton of growth yet but are happy and healthy (just not putting off new leaves) and one is finally starting to give me a new node and one isn’t. Just give it time to settle and aclimate from whenever you last messed with it. ### YinDeezy님이 2024-08-20에 댓글을 남겼어요. Needs more light. No more repots unless there is an issue with the roots. All that disturbance is likely part of the reason for the stunted growth. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
