My Ficus lyrata finally dropped that stubborn bottom leaf after two months of me fussing with it. Turns out I was overwatering—the soil stayed damp way too long in my setup. Once I backed off and let it dry out between waterings, the new growth came in healthy. Still watching it though, since fiddle leafs are temperamental. Anyone else had success with less frequent watering?
