Notes on my Fiddle Leaf Fig
Zayn·17 August 2026Community
I've had my Ficus lyrata for two years now and finally figured out why it kept dropping leaves—it wasn't the light or watering, but actually inconsistent temperatures near the window. Now that I've moved it to a more stable spot in the living room, the new growth is noticeably fuller. Still not easy, but I'm learning that fiddle leaf figs really do want that predictability. Anyone else struggle with the temperature swings, or was it just me?
