changing x label in python

I am new to python so I apologize if this if this will sound like a silly question. I am trying to change a the title of the x axis in a plot ,from what I read if you use subplots the you need to use set_xlabel('X Axis') command but for some reason this is not working for me.

plot=plt.subplots();
dftemp=dftemp.set_index('Date2');
plot=dftemp['yield_bruto_percent'].plot(kind='bar',color="lightgray",title=dftemp['paper_name'][1][::-1]+'    ינוציח-ימינפ גוריד ',figsize=(8,4),legend=True)
plot=dftemp['dirug_mnpik_psagot'].plot(secondary_y=True,legend=True);
plot=dftemp['final_score'].plot(secondary_y=True,legend=True);
plot=dftemp['dirug_manpik_hitzoni'].plot(secondary_y=True,legend=True,rot=45);
plot.set_xlabel('X Axis')

when I run this code the label does not change and the label appears as the name of variable which is the index in my data set. This is the message i get

<matplotlib.text.Text at 0x23735e70390>

any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

The https://matplotlib.org/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_xlabel.html function is a member of Axes class.

You can get an object of axes class from subplots as following

plot, ax = plt.subplots()

Then set the xlabel as following

ax.set_xlabel('X Axis')
