I am so happy that my #ficusaltissimavariegata #yellowgem grew back from a stick and that the leaves and stems are finally hardening up and coloring up. She needs to return to her former glory. At least I learned u can water a stick and get results eventually lol

So this lost all its leaves and now its growing in all these very small barely variegated leaves that I contemplate cutting back again in hopes the new growth will be like it used to since its getting sunnier and warmer? #ficusyellowgem #ficusaltissimavariegata this leaf looks so pretty

Why are the new leaves on my #falsebanyanyellowgem coming in all wrinkly and small? Lack of light? Its right in the window but it has been dreary. #planthelp #plantmedic #plantquestion

Think of them as a new born baby, they’re wrinkly until they grow a bit, same thing!
