# My ficus ginseng is yellowing and I’m not seeing any growth. 1-2…

_Posted by Avriella — nature lo on 2026-01-28_

My ficus ginseng is yellowing and I’m not seeing any growth. 1-2 hours of direct sunlight and I have it on a good watering schedule. I’ve had it for maybe four months now. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance plant friends!! ✨🌷🍀🌼🌱🌵🪻🪴✨

If you’re not overwatering, it could be too cold or drafty for it.

I’ll look into that! Thank you! I try to water every 1 and a half weeks, is that a good amount?

You dont want wet soil, usually you just gotta stick your finger in the dirt. I wouldn’t water until the top inch or two is dry. Give it a good 2, MAYBE 3 weeks in between watering. Theres an option in planta to skip watering if soil is wet - it’s the little bell with z on it

Not at all, it’s all a learning curve. I’m so forgetful, which is why I have the app. I should really stick to succulents lol
