# I’ve had a healthy rubber plant for two years, but about a month ago…

_Gepostet von Al am 2024-10-17_

I’ve had a healthy rubber plant for two years, but about a month ago it started looking wrinkly, and the leaves seem off. Water sits at the bottom of the pot when I water it, and I’m worried about drainage. I haven’t watered it in 17 days, just a medium amount, but the room did get cold one night. Could it be overwatering, underwatering, root rot, or am I just being a little paranoid? What do you think?

it looks pretty good to me but what you’re describing shouldn’t continue. have you repotted it ever/recently?

Water shouldn’t be sitting on the bottom after watering

The pot is so big that I can’t really lift it to drain the water in the bottom. I think I will be watering just enough where it doesn’t fill up the plate at the bottom of the pot.

It's a beautiful plant! Can't wait for mine to get that big!
