I finally figured out why my Ficus lyrata kept dropping leaves—it was the drafts from my AC unit, not underwatering like I assumed. Since I moved it away from the direct air flow, the new growth looks so much healthier. I'm still learning which of my eight plants are sensitive to temperature swings, but I'm getting there. Has anyone else had this issue with fiddle leaf figs?
