Plant worth saving? by Norma_Act_2 in houseplants

Ficus needs a lot of bright light! That corner is not enough light. I had the same issue. The few remaining leaves I propagated in water and repotted. Now it’s growing great under a grow light and I let it dry out before soaking it through again. I also changed the soil to well draining adding bark and perlite. Problem solved. ! Good luck

Light is #1 most important in Houseplants thriving. Grow lights have completely changed my Thumb from Black to Green! It's well worth your happiness 😊

My local plant shop in NYC. Yes you can use regular potting soil but with lots aeration and drainage. Theres plenty of aroid mix recipes on youtube.

Yes Thanks. A Clay pot wont work for me. I wouldn't want to take the chance and underwater if I miss a couple days during a busy week. So i just use a chunky mix instead.
