I've had my Ficus lyrata for three years now, and I finally stopped overthinking the watering schedule. I was convinced the desert air here would kill it, but it's actually thriving with deep watering once every ten days and bright indirect light. The trick was accepting that "well-draining soil" doesn't mean neglect—it means letting the pot dry between soakings without guilt. Mine just unfurled a new leaf, so I'm calling that a win.
