I’ve had this rubber plant since April, and it was growing little leaves on the bottom for a while. But whenever I would check on them, they fell off at the slightest touch. Now I haven’t seen growth in a while. Is there something I can do to help this?

Check for root rot. And maybe a change of soil might help and some fertilizer.

Any soil/fertilizer you recommend?

Are you sure it was growing leaves at the bottom and they weren’t just the old ones? New growth comes from the top of these — unless you notched to encourage branching?

Yes I thought it was strange, but they were small and actually fell off when I touched them. Either way, no new growth has come from the top /:

well if the small leaves at the bottom fell off it could just be their natural life cycle. small leaves at the bottom are the oldest leaves. but no growth means not enough light and maybe a need to check your roots like others suggested
