  • Question

    I have a Ficus Elastica Tineke. I recently just brought it home from a local seller. She tells me she mixes 30-10-10 fertilizer with distilled water and waters her plant every Saturday. My first watering, I watered it once with tap water and no fertilizer. Now the leaves look like this. Pls help :(

    Answer

    Dear julie920, good morning. I do wish I could help. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. As such, gardening and horticulture questions are outside of my expertise. I hope you are able to identify what is occurring and keep your plant alive. Best wishes.
