If you put it in a really tiny pot! Pots should be no bigger than 1-2 inches larger than the root ball

I've had it for a few weeks and the roots haven't grown much so I thought if I plant it it might do better. I have some 1" 1/2 pots that I was thinking of using

If it’s not growing it needs food! I add liquid fertilizer and silica to my propagations potting it should help

Sorry to hijack , do you add silica to water props as well?

#### Plantgirly replied on 2025-02-07

Yes! It helps all plants but especially variegated ones

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-02-08

That ok to hijack that way we both learn. 🙃

Rubber plants aren’t too picky! I’ve grown several plants from rubber plant props, and you have plenty of roots for potting it! I’ve even grown from a north facing window, and it has several new leaves!
