My leaves are starting to brown and shrivel up!

#FiddleLeafFig
0ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 days ago
@FabBegonia39 Hi Kelly! These guys are known for being finicky! You can change something off by one day and they won’t like it very much! Just make sure they are getting filtered medium to high sunlight or grow light and water them once they are about halfway dry. That is what works for mine. They are pretty big right now they are about 3 ft tall and 1.5’ around and no brown leaves. Just don’t breathe on them too hard or they might lose the rest of the leaves!🀣 Good Luck to both of you!πŸͺ΄πŸŒΊ
@Ponytailmom wow I had no idea I'm not a very experienced green thumb, so any even the slightest tip helps so thank you very very much!!
My neighbor moved out and left me one, it was completely dry, I watered it twice the past month & the leaves are browning and falling off if I breathe hard. I will follow these instructions myself. Thanks!
@IconBlackberry good luck! I hope they help you! I’m sending I both my green energy! 🀣
Dead tips of the shoots indicates problems with the roots. You might want to flush the pot with water that is to say pour water into the pod until it runs out the bottom very well then go back to your regular routine of watering. I’m thinking they’re just may be some salt accumulation from not thoroughly watering.
Did you recently fertilize the fig it could be you put too much fertilizer on it. If so, the flush will be a good solution.
