Fiddle Leaf Fig Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid dim corners—low light often leads to leaf drop.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the top 2–3" of soil feels dry. Let excess water drain fully—never let the pot sit in water.
• Humidity: متوسط to high. Extra humidity helps keep leaf edges crisp and reduces stress.
• Temperature: 65–75°F. Keep away from cold drafts, radiators, and direct blasts from AC/heat.
• Feeding: Spring–summer: feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength. Pause or reduce in fall/winter.
• Pruning: Remove damaged leaves as needed and prune to shape. Clean shears help prevent issues.
• Propagation: Stem cuttings or air layering (best results with a healthy, established plant).
• Pests: Watch for spider mites, scale, and mealybugs—especially in dry indoor air.

Common Issue: Dropping Leaves

Fiddle Leaf Figs can be sensitive to sudden changes. If yours is dropping leaves, the fix is often about light consistency, watering timing, or drafts—not starting over. Sometimes moving it just a foot or two can make a noticeable difference.

Good to Know

• Rotate for even growth: Turn the plant a quarter turn every 1–2 weeks to keep it balanced.
• Wipe the leaves: Dust can block light—gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth to help it photosynthesize.
• Keep it stable: Fiddle Leaf Figs prefer consistency. Once it’s happy, try not to move it often.
