I've had my Ficus lyrata for about eight months now, and I'm still figuring out what it actually wants. Everyone says "bright indirect light," but I'm in a cold climate with pretty weak winter sun, so I'm wondering if I should move it closer to the window or accept slower growth. It's not struggling, just... patient. Has anyone else grown one in a genuinely chilly house? I'm curious whether the cold slows it down as much as low light does.
