Fiddle Leaf Fig
This is general guidance. Adjust watering and care for your home's light, temperature, humidity, potting mix, container, and season.
The fiddle leaf is the plant everyone asks about, and the one that taught me patience. Five years in, it’s grown into a proper tree by the sunroom windows — but it got there by being left alone. Fiddles hate change: move one, and it’ll sulk and drop leaves to punish you. Mine has one bright spot it will never leave, a monthly dusting, and a slow quarter-turn now and then. That’s the whole secret.
