My Ficus lyrata finally produced a new leaf after months of nothing, and I'm genuinely relieved. I'd moved it away from the west-facing window after noticing the older leaves were getting scorched, and that seemed to do the trick. It's been in my collection for three years now, and I've learned it really does prefer bright indirect light over the intense afternoon sun everyone always recommends. Has anyone else found their fig happier with less aggressive light?
