I need help my ficus burgundy has got limp? I’ve tried cutting the water down and about to try checking the roots if all else fails. Any suggestions is appreciated

Is it getting enough light?

#### Mae143 ha risposto il 2025-07-03

Yes it’s about 12 inches from the window

I would definitely check the roots for rot sooner rather than later.

#### Mae143 ha risposto il 2025-07-03

I checked roots too not looking very strong so it might be a goner

i had the same thing because i accidentally drowned mine! 🫣 all but three of her leaves fell off so i’ve propegated her… fingers crossed

#### Poppy ha risposto il 2025-07-03

i tried to reply but it’s gone as a separate comment :)

Bet it would love some fertilizer!! Check it it can have coffee grounds, some plants love it 🥰

#### Mae143 ha risposto il 2025-07-03

Oh I will surely try that I haven’t done that yet. Thank you

yay! so i’ve marked on the image where i cut it. i then popped the ends fully submerged in water into two separate glass bottles- one picture attatched. it’s only been a few days but im starting to see some preparation for root growth on the ends!
