Gorgeous and fickle. Love hate relationship. The second you finally get things right, your lease is up and it’s time for 5 more months of fighting and adjusting. But then a bunch of huge leaves explode out and all is forgiven

Can be fickle with sunlight and temperature. Now that it’s winter the leaf growth is much lower compared to before. But such a good looking plant in general!

Be extra careful with handling. It can go into shock pretty easily.

She’s really pretty and I haven’t killed her, despite being a new plant parent. She grew 6 leaves this summer - without the grow light.

I agree with other growers, it’s a picky plant. Grew 3 new beautiful leaves when I first brought home. Was watering too often until I asked my husband why some leaves were browning and he suggested stop watering and wait for soil to dry. As soon as did that the browning stopped but the new leaves fell off too easily. It does attract pests, when I repotted a spider crawled out even though I had cleaned all leaves when I first got it. It’s only been a month since I got it and I hope it thrives in the area I placed it with its own growing light.

FLFs can be a little temperamental but I still think they’re a lot of fun to own. Great as a statement piece too.

This is my second go at a Fiddle Leaf fig. So far so great. He’s thriving. And has grown 3 HUGE new leaves. I’m really proud and happy with how well he’s doing. I water when the soil is dry. Spray every other week for pest prevention and just let him be.

So far so good! Received her from a woman who was neglecting her, so she has some growing to do! But she’s definitely pushing through💓

This plant has been very difficult for me to take care of. The plant is not soaking up water and the tray is still full of water when Greg suggests I water it again. Leaves are browning and falling off..
