Advice for Luffy the rubber tree?
@RJG Oh great ficus master, please advise me on my little baby Luffy! Pic 1 was when I adopted him, 16th December. He grew a lot over the summer and I’ve been expecting him to get his groove on again seeing as spring has sprung. Instead he seems a little limp on one side. I haven’t noticed any new leaf growth at all. Pic 2) is his current location pic 3/4) to show him clearer with limp leaves, pic 5) his roots. I’m wondering if a good soaking will get him going? Or should I wait for a sunny day and place him outside in the shade? Or should I just wait a bit and stop being so impatient 😂 Still don’t know why he’s not perky though. Thanks oh wise one! #ficusking #help #FicusGang #AskGreg

The soil looks a little dry to me, and the leaves are starting to droop so I think it is asking for water. Might be worth a good soak, but I wouldn't worry too much since it's just coming into spring. Maybe increase the frequency just a little - it could be wanting more going into growing season.
