Notes on my Fiddle Leaf Fig
Yusuf·5 June 2026Community
I've had my Ficus lyrata for three years now, and I'm finally getting consistent leaf production after moving it away from my west-facing window. Turns out the afternoon heat was stressing it more than helping. It's in a bright, indirect spot now and puts out new leaves every few weeks. If yours is dropping foliage, I'd honestly check your light first before blaming the watering schedule—that was my mistake for the longest time.
