# SOS: I can’t believe I didn’t see my ruby rubber plant wilting so…

_Publié par Jessie Stratton Zhou le 2024-12-15_

SOS: I can’t believe I didn’t see my ruby rubber plant wilting so much. 😩 My last watering was 6 weeks ago and this app is suggesting the next watering to be in MARCH? I just noticed how wilted it got and am giving a thorough watering now.

Why would the app suggest 5 months of no watering for this plant? Is this normal for a rubber plant in winter? Will it revive?

it will be fine!! better under watered than over for sure

Thanks! Do you think going five months without watering is normal? I’ve never really heard of that for a plant.

### Matilda a commenté le 2024-12-15

Five months seems excessive, I’d just keep an eye out and water once it’s fully dry

### Hba a commenté le 2024-12-15

Did you have the location set to outside and then bring it in? I thought I read on another post that someone experienced this.

#### Jessie Stratton Zhou ha respondido el 2024-12-15

No, never! But I’ll just keep an eye on it.

Planta has glitches occasionally. 5 months is too long. Check the soil

### YinDeezy a commenté le 2024-12-17

March is definitely excessive. Are you using a custom watering schedule or the planta recommended schedule?

I have two Ficus Moonshines that I water every weekish, but they are under grow lights.

#### Jessie Stratton Zhou ha respondido el 2024-12-17

Mine is also under a grow light! I’ve adjusted the schedules for my other plants but I guess I didn’t for this one… it’s usually every 2-3 weeks or so, but maybe this was a glitch. Planta actually says “Never in December” under the watering schedule which is so weird to me!

#### YinDeezy ha respondido el 2024-12-17

Yeah, sounds like a schedule setting that needed to be adjusted. This is what I use for my two that are inside for the winter under grow lights. Both of them are in 5in pots under grow lights for 13hrs per day.
