I've had my Ficus lyrata for about six months now and it's finally pushing out new leaves after a rough adjustment period. I'm still not totally sure if I'm watering it right—the soil dries out pretty quickly in my apartment, so I've been checking it every few days. Has anyone else found a good rhythm with theirs? I'm terrified of overwatering, but I also don't want to underwater it. Any tips would be really appreciated!
