Cluster Fig
About Cluster Fig
Did you know that all plants in the Ficus genus produce figs? In fact, the word Ficus quite literally means figs! Even cooler, all figs are pollinated by tiny wasps that use the fruits as a safe place to raise their young. 🐝 Ficus plants also contain latex which emerges as a milky sap when twigs are broken. This latex makes them toxic, so be sure to keep a close eye out if you have children or pets!
Taxonomy

Also known as

How to fertilize Cluster Fig
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 Cluster Fig after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

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

FLF Leaf problems? Hello! I have 3 fiddle leaf figs that have been growing great for the last 3 years. This one is the only plant I have had trouble with so far. Its dropped 2 leaves already with similar discoloration and this would be the third leaf in about a month. Any idea what is happening? I water about every 2 weeks, if it needs it. #fiddleleaffig
