So I finally figured out why my fiddle leaf fig kept dropping leaves—turns out it hated being moved around! I kept rotating it for even growth, but apparently that stressed it out more than anything. Now I just let it sit in the same bright spot by the window and it's actually thriving. Has anyone else had better luck leaving theirs alone, or do you rotate yours regularly? I'm curious if I just got lucky.
