I've had my Ficus lyrata for about four months now and it's finally pushing out a new leaf, which feels like a win. I'm still figuring out the watering balance—I know they hate soggy roots, but I keep second-guessing myself. Does anyone else struggle with the "wait until the soil dries out" rule, or is it just me? I'd love to know what your routine looks like, especially since mine's in a fairly bright spot near an east-facing window.
