#FicusElastica

Hi there #GregCommunity , I have a question about my ficus elastica β€˜Ruby,’ (a newer acquisition) that I haven’t been able to find for myself. When I got her, she arrived looking pretty healthy but with two wonky older lower leaves. It’s like they’re ruffled or rippled. I read underwatered ficus elastica leaves will curl under, but I can’t figure out what these leaves indicate, since she arrived like that. I’m not too worried, since she has put out a new leaf in the meantime that looks good, but I am just curious what could cause that rippling. Thank you! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #help #Question #questions #nadiabynature

Beautiful plant. I had one and she did the same thing because I was over watering. I believe that being in direct line of air conditioning also led to her leaves curling.
@SalientBonsai25 Much appreciated, thank you! I figured it would most likely be a watering issue. They are SO pretty 🀩 I hope I keep her happy
