My fiddle leaf fig finally stopped dropping leaves after I moved it away from the heating vent. Took me two years to figure that out. The thing is finicky about air movement in arid climates—it wants consistent moisture and humidity but hates being blasted. I'm watering less often now and misting the leaves every few days, and it's actually putting out new growth for once. If yours is sulking, check what's blowing on it first before assuming you're underwatering.
