Hi Amy!
It sounds like your African Fig might be root-bound. This means the roots have filled the pot and have nowhere else to grow. This can cause the plant to absorb more water than it needs, leading to overflow.
Here's what you can do:
* Check the roots: Gently remove the plant from the pot and inspect the roots. If they're tightly packed and circling the pot, it's time for a repot.
* Repot: Choose a pot that's slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix and repot the plant carefully.
* Water wisely: After repotting, water your plant thoroughly. Allow the excess water to drain completely. Then, let the soil dry out slightly between waterings.
With a little TLC and a new home, your African Fig should thrive!
