How to fertilize Black Ficus Tree
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Black Ficus Tree after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is this looking like root rot? I've had this fiddle for about 2 weeks now. #FiddleLeafFig

I just love her so much!! I found her at Walmart a few weeks back and got her on a whim, she’s the first bigger plant I’ve purchased and I think she’s so beautiful and I love her so much 😭💛 I hope she thrives!! #ficusmoonshine

Who loves a good before and after? Even though #greg states fiddles do not like porous pots, this fiddle couldn’t be happier. Check out this growth spurt that happened when I finally placed her in a north window of my four season room. Unreal growth!!! #FiddleLeafFig

Fiddle leaf question. So, I’ve had my guy for maybe 3 ish years. It was tall when I got it at Costco. I’ve learned the hard way for sure. I repotted him in the spring and then overwatered and lost loads of leaves. He’s since stabilized but I’ve not seen any new growth in quite some time and his pot never seems to be dry when I use my water measuring tool. Should I be concerned about this? I saw an online post about a plant person who had cut off all the branches and leaves of their FLF and it grew back healthy and adorable. Any success with that? Should I just leave it alone? #FiddleLeafFig #pruneitback
