Speeding Up a Slow-Growing Rubber Plant

Your rubber plant’s single new leaf in 6 months signals insufficient light. It doesn’t need curtain protection—direct morning sun is beneficial.

Fixes

• Open curtains daily for maximum light.
• Water from top until it drains, then wait until top inch of soil is dry.
• Stop fertilizing for at least a year—slow growth means low nutrient demand.

Light is the primary growth driver; correct that first.
