I've had my fiddle leaf fig for about eight months now, and I'm finally starting to understand why people say they're fussy. Mine kept dropping leaves until I realized I was moving it around too much, chasing the "perfect" light spot. Now that it's settled in one bright corner, it's actually thriving. I still get nervous watering it though—does anyone else find that tricky to dial in, especially with the mediterranean heat we get here?
