I have been a bad plant parent and left my poor ficus in a hot sunny car for a few hours during a move. I’ve now gotten it to a place where it gets the right amount of sun (I think) and watered it, but it still isn’t doing well. First one, now two leaves are drooping, and the top of the stem is shriveled. What can I do to...
I would chop the top off, somewhere above a notch in the stem that has healthy leaves below and under the badly burned leaves.
You’d be surprised at how quickly it will bounce back with new growth when it isn’t spending all its energy trying to keep those dead leaves alive.
NGL it’s scary to think about cutting your beloved plant in half but you can’t recover the burned leaves and pruning will encourage branching and new growth
Hi guys, I failed my automatic driving test today and my parents told me to just bribe?? Is this actually a thing here?? What do I even say?? Who do I talk to?? I signed up to safety driving school who seem legit so would they even take it?? Someone plz help.
I was given a Montsera(?) cutting and I don’t really know if this leaf is too wrinkled? It’s a minefield trying to read about and understand if I have over or under watered. I just don’t know what this plant actually wants....
Water when it gets wrinkly, but don’t let the soil stay saturated forever it can get root rot. Have you seen the roots at all and how long have you had the plant? If it was potted when you got it, underdeveloped or immature roots could also contribute to rot
Your transition to soil rooting sounds careful and is a good method. I agree the wrinkly leaf is slightly concerning, but the new unfurling leaf is a good sign.
Variegated varieties require more light than their non -variegated counter parts. More light requires more water but I would always err on the side of caution because bouncing back from under watering is much easier than recovering from root rot for overwatering. You might consider raising the humidity instead of opting into more water in the soil and you can use a pebble tray under the pot filled with water instead of buying a humidifier. Make sure the bottom of the pot is above the water line in the pebbles.
It’s inevitable that this plant will lose it’s oldest leaves as it makes new, but also consider the possibility of pests and carefully inspect all the leaves for signs.

Any kind of pork, beef, or lamb fat. Using it as a replacement for butter or oils to cook or prepare ingredients brings a whole new depth of flavor to a dish!
