I have problems with my variagated baby. 🥺
#VariegatedFicusBenjamina
I am now in school and can post any new pictures, maybe in few hours when I come back home.
He was in bigger pot and my kom transported him because she didnt want to grow only roots and no any new branches and leaves.
Some of his branches and leaves fall off. And branches are still dry.
I am fighting with mom not to water him. He is in part suculent soil part in perlite without drainage, and it takes longer to dry.
She would now give me to check for his roots.
So what can I do to help him stay healthy?

@strawberrymoon Don't worry we are fighting because I kill everything I touch.
Thats why I installed this app. 😅
Its not up to me in what pot is going to be plant that is not mine. He's ours (not only mine or hers) and we can't decide when to water it when not to do so. She repoted him in maybe month ago. He have some sort of plastic drainage at bottom of it's pot. But I dont know if it does work.

@LittleCrow ah i see! sorry haha i was just worried. you can tell if there’s drainage by looking at the bottom of the pot the plant is in, it should have a hole at the base :)
@strawberrymoon I don't know if you understand me. It's closed pot, I have something similar to this (photo 3th) and it came with pot when I brought it. I was scared it will get too much water and die since water can't go out of a pot.
I have taken the plant to take pictures of it. And in my surprise I found he is growing new leaves and branches. Maybe he was just adjusting, maybe that was the reason why was his leaves falling off.
Here's ome photos I managed to take. 😅😊

@strawberrymoon I will take your advice and see what I can do with it. I don't think it hinder a drainage in any way, because pot is closed and water have at least somewhere to go. 😅🤗
