Hi everyone, I have just recently started taking care of this rubber Belize plant. I am worried about the plant’s yellowish leaves, but have read with new growth sometimes the leaves may take on a yellow tint. At this time, I only water this plant once a week according to Planta’s watering schedule. I also repotted my plant and made sure the pot had a drainage hole. In addition, I put plant fertilizer sticks in the soil a few weeks ago. This plant resides on a table a few feet from the window. Should I be worried about the yellowish leaves? In the picture of my plant online, the leaves look like they are supposed to have a more pinkish tint. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.

    This looks like ficus tinneke, so the color is correct. It’s one of my favorite plants in my collection. There is a version that is pinkish red called ruby ficus, so I’m not sure if that’s the one you’re supposed to have. Either way, I don’t see anything wrong. The cream color is normal

      Thank you for making me feel better about it. I’m starting to really like this plant and would hate it if I was accidentally overwatering or doing something to harm it.

      I mean, you could still be doing that. Watering once a week sounds like too often for a ficus that doesn’t live outside. It also might prefer being in the window rather than a few feet away. You could be killing it slowly
