@gjones is right about humidityfactors👍also proper watering is an issue but the plant looks very healthy, those bottom leaves look more like it had a prob when it was unfurling early on @elainehampagne
The soil is quiet wet as it’s been recently repotted, and the bottom leaves were straight when I first bought it. Two weeks later it started warping and also there’s sort of a waxy film on it. No bugs in sight yet though. Where I am in Toronto, we had a heat wave up until yesterday @tinaaune @gjones
@gjones According this this article, you are right about the plant adjusting to its new environment. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/1470608/another-ficus-elastica-leaf-question
The leaves wrap could be due to transplant shock the plant have to go through. Rubber plant has white sap inside its leaves and stem also. Making soil too wet will prevent nutrition uptake to a stressed out plant. You can keep it next to a Sunny Window and let the top inch of soil dry out before further watering. Spread few fallen Green Tree leaves over the top layer of soil. Let me know if it improves
Help help! I just bought this beauty and my mom repotted it very recently. I noticed the leaves are warping... is this normal or is it sick??? @gjones
