Notes on my Fiddle Leaf Fig
Yusuf·18 August 2026Community
I've finally figured out why my Ficus lyrata was dropping leaves so aggressively—I was moving it constantly chasing the "perfect" light spot. Since I committed to one corner with bright, indirect morning sun and stopped fussing with it, the new growth has been steady. It's been three months without a single dropped leaf, which feels like a small victory given how temperamental these can be. Turns out the fiddle leaf fig just wanted consistency more than anything else.
