This is a ficus ruby plant and I believe it may be sick. Aren’t the leaves supposed to be burgundy color?

If anyone has any advice lmk!

More light would probably promote more of the red

assuming by “plant” you mean light then I’m with ya! 🤪

Yikes lol yes light!! I fixed it

Not necessarily, it looks healthy.

I’m with plantguy. I see lots of browning edges — not a sign of health.

If this is a ruby, and not a standard variegated, then it needs more light, that’s why you’re losing the pink

You might also have a watering issue— these brown leaves are concerning

Thank you!
