So I posted about this a while back and promised I’d give an update. About a month ago I took these two rubber plants that were in the same pot and repotted them separately hoping the one on the right would benefit a little. Well, the left one is really taking off but the right one still hasn’t performed. Why won’t it give me a new leaf? It’s looked like that for about 6 months already …

They look beautiful, really. Take the win, maybe the right is struggling a bit more, but it’s still thriving.  
No leaf loss. Do you suppose it could benefit from not a location move, but maybe the addition of a floor plant light? Like this:

Perhaps … they are also at different windows in my house, left is at a south window and right is at a west window, but they’ve both been at a south window for most of those 6 months and still the right one didn’t change so I thought I’d switch things up 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well, I suppose it couldn’t hurt. I got one of the cheaper ones, it gives more indirect light. Maybe a little boost is all it needs. If not, a light like that can always benefit your other plants. It was only I think $39.

Good to know! I do feel with the quantity of plants in my house and the lack of windows I really should be getting grow lights heading into the darker season 🙂

#### Ezzeldin Yaqoub ha risposto il 2024-11-14

That is not cheap, I got a grow light bulb for $4 at dollarama that is 60 watts and it is so bright it is blinding.

#### JenThon🪴🪷 ha risposto il 2024-11-14

As far as a floor plant light it is. I was mostly thinking of the posts about Solitech and other expensive lamps that give a much better, more direct source of light.  
If all that’s in the budget (like mine for now) then these work fine.  
I also use $2-$3 plant bulbs in some of my regular lamps that I use for general light in my living room area. I have a snake Plant sitting under it too, it also works for that plant. ☺️🪴

Ok apparently there are cheaper grow light bulbs, can you tell me where you get $2-$3 bulbs from.

#### JenThon🪴🪷 ha risposto il 2024-11-16

I watch Amazon for flash deals. Last one I got was a 2pack of full spectrum grow bulbs for $4.99.

I like the lights with two heads, cause that gives you more coverage. Good luck, the plants seem to love them!

### Wolfen 🐺 ha commentato il 2024-11-14

It sounds like it's the lighting. You might also drop in some fertilizer like Foliage Focus

#### OzPlantGirl ha risposto il 2024-11-15

Foliage focus is my choice!

### OzPlantGirl ha commentato il 2024-11-15

Try Keike paste on the unopened leaf.

#### Poochie’s Plants ha risposto il 2024-11-15

Oh? I keep seeing that pop up here and there so maybe I’ll give it a try, thanks!!
