Thanks so much for replying. I feel a bit better now. I was just outside looking at the stalks again, trying to see if maybe there was something hidden. All I found were crickets hiding among the tassles of 2 and 2 "pinchie bugs" as my kids call them, in the tassle of another. I think I'll just sit back and see what happens. Thanks again!

Hi Dan, I have to look, it's been a week, but my Pamianthe is doing well enough to bloom this year. It's bloomed in the past but skipped a year. Moving house can really takes its toll... Also, do you have any Worsleya around? I saw a few pictures of yours recently. Seed? Anything? I'm also at bonsagai37@aol.com for private conversation. Thank you, Michael

I have been doing this a long time and you get what you pay for. I have installed Siematic and Baulthorp in the past with NO problems. Always check the manufacturer's warranty.

Oops, there goes another rubber...oops there goes...another rubber tree plant! In addition to the identification, let's try to get you some help, which has been short in supply from the above posters--no real fault of theirs, it's an ID thread. Yeah, it looks like a bit more light might be helpful. Not too much, rubber trees are really capable of tolerating low light, and you don't want to suddenly shock it, but bring it up to some brighter light, then brighter again. It should improve. They do like bright light, but not direct sun. My mother kept one alive in deep shade and barely indirect light, but...well, that plant wasn't what I'd call happy. Most of them are a bit more hoggy for soil space than a cup, so that cup won't do for long, and I don't think that has a bottom drain in it either? You'll want a nice, light well-draining mix of soil with a drain at the bottom. They hate sitting in water, so a drainless cup is a bad idea. Here's two great articles for you to start with that'll help you out: https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/rubber-plant-our-best-tips-for-growing-and-care-237390 https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/rubber-tree/how-to-care-for-a-rubber-tree-plant.htm The second is more basic, but I like the first. :-) Although they can get fifty feet tall, you may certainly prune the thing regularly to limit height. My mother's? It never needed that as it never lived long enough. :-) I hope that helps past just the simple ID.
