Is your fiddle leaf fig looking a little…fussy? Don't despair! These trendy trees can be a bit demanding, but with the right care, you can have a thriving specimen.
**Light is Key:** Fiddle leaf figs crave bright, indirect light. An east-facing window is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. If the leaves start to droop or turn yellow, it's a sign they're not getting enough light.
**Watering Wisdom:** Overwatering is a common killer. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering thoroughly. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. During the dormant winter months, water less frequently.
**Humidity Help:** These figs love humidity. If your home is dry, consider misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby. A pebble tray filled with water is another easy solution.
**Don't Move It Around!** Fiddle leaf figs don't like change. Once you find a spot they love, try to avoid moving them. Sudden changes in environment can cause leaf drop.
With a little attention, you can unlock the secret to fiddle leaf fig success! Enjoy your gorgeous, leafy friend!
