I've had my Ficus lyrata for three years now, and it finally threw out a new leaf last month after staying dormant for ages. I think the key was moving it away from the south-facing window—too much direct sun was stressing it out. Now it gets bright, indirect light and I'm being much more conservative with watering. Has anyone else found that their lyrata prefers slightly less attention than the typical care guides suggest?
