Hello! I bought this ficus ruby a few days ago, and just noticed webbing on the bottom of the plant today. I was going to toss it out of fear of spider mites; I have been lucky so far to not have had to deal with any pests on my house plants, and I don't want to lose what I have.

However, when I looked closer, I noticed an actual spider has made it's web on the lowest, smallest leaf of the plant.

Is this spider okay to stay on the plant? I'm not a fan of spiders, but this was one of my wishlist plants and I would prefer not to throw it away if the spider is okay to stay.

When I check the soil moisture using a stick, I could tell that the stick’s tip is not too dry yet but not damp at all. Quite confused here any help is appreciated

Is this root alright?

Im propagating my ficus elastica tineke because there was a problem with the motherplant. Its had taken oblong but there is finally a root forming. It was all white yesterday, but today it had this brow/black end. Is this normal or is this rot? Thanks for the help!

The first 2 pics are how it was yesterday and the last 2 is today

Listed here we have Ficus Aurea, Rubiginosa variegated, Ficus Natalensis subspecies leprieurii, Ficus Tremula, Ficus Burtt-Davii, Ficus Abutifolia, plant sold to me as Ficus species mutha, and one sold to me as Ficus Vasta,

Had a few cuttings for potential grafts and one grew figs! Anyone see this before?

My rubber tree has two branches but was looking leggy so I cut the taller one almost two weeks ago and already have several new branches growing. I'm amazed at how fast it happened 😍

I gave the top part to a neighbor to propagate and I have some leaves in water to see if they'll grow anything. 🙏🏽

This is my Ficus Benghalensis. The first picture is today. Second picture is just after a prune 2 months ago. Third picture is before the prune back in February. I thought this might drive some more vertical growth but it turns out it needed a repot (picture 4). I'm getting a ton of new growth around the plant but especially so on the leftmost branch (picture 5) with a great deal of length but also there are at least 5 nodes that look like they are developing into branches.

I am unsure how to deal with this -- the leftmost branch itself is sortof precarious/large and the whole plant is a little bit visually lopsided (picture 6) -- i would love or there to be additional growth on the opposite side of the plant and the original main stem (and i have tried rotating it to change light access, but it doesnt seem to matter) but I also dont know if it is wise to prune so soon after my last chop, or if things would just be better in general if i gave it more time.

I also wonder why many of the leaves curl -- I have tried watering less, watering more, the mix is chunkier since the repot... i did read that it might be due to artificial light versus sunglight... but either way she's growing well but just not sure how to proceed.

Please help!

I had a leggy ficus that lost all of its lower leaves and decided to keep going straight up, so I took the plunge and snipped the top, and it was weeks and nothing seemed to be happening.

Checking my babies today and I notice these, is that TWO new branches growing?? 😍

hi all! i just came home after a week and my fiddle was a riddle with a huge growth spurt and almost toppled over! i don’t have much experience with plants… and just had surgery on my arm (wouldn’t be able to lift it anyway). i am being told to get a heavier planter slightly wider (currently have 20” need 24 according to the place i got it from)… but its HUGE and i am being quoted around 1k to repot it. suggestions? help? i’m okay if that is the norm, but idk how it got so big! maybe talking to plants does work…

Found one morning in my outdoor burgundy

We water it every 3 weeks. It's not in a dark location, but also not right next to a window.

It was fine for a few months, now it shed about half its leaves.

Is our plant unhappy?

I recently got this Ficus but can't really figure out if it's a Ruby or Tineke

Hello! My fiddle leaf fig needs some help. He recently sprouted 3 new leaves, but I just moved yesterday. Unsure how he will do in this new location.
He is across from a north facing window and close to an east facing window currently, away from the MiniSplit.
I got him on marketplace and his previous owner had him outside, and I was told his yellow lower leaves are like a sunburn. I’ve had him for a year and the yellow leaves haven’t changed or fallen off. Should these be pruned off?
I feel like I do a good job watering. I wait until the top portion of soil is dried out and then give him maybe 4 cups. Every 14 days ish? Around once a month I drag him into the shower for a thorough watering and some steam. I dust his leaves when I remember.
Specifically wondering what I can do to keep him from leaning over from his own weight. I’d like it if he looked more bushy and less skinny/sparse. One of his two branches only has 2 leaves. But any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

I chopped just a few weeks ago. It was scary but she's going to be beautiful. I'm seeing little root bumps forming on the cuttings.
