My fiddle leaf fig finally stopped dropping leaves after I moved it away from the radiator and stopped fussing with the watering schedule. Turns out it just wanted consistency and indirect light, not the attention I was giving it. It's been steady for three months now. I know they have a reputation for being dramatic, but I think people just overwater them and move them around too much. Has anyone else found their ficus lyrata actually pretty low-maintenance once it settles in?
