I finally figured out why my fiddle leaf fig kept dropping leaves—it wasn't underwatering, it was the cold drafts from my window in winter. Moved it three feet back and it's been solid for months now. The new leaves are actually staying put. If yours is being dramatic, check your spots for temperature swings before you drown it trying to fix things. Sometimes the simplest change makes all the difference.
