My FLF has not dropped any leaves, but they are “droopy” my tree is literally telling me it’s sad. And I know it’s because of not enough sunlight, today is day 1 of my FLF using a grow light for 6hrs ( not sure if I should leave on longer ) ….. around how long do you think it’ll take for my FLF to pick it’s self back up? Thanks you’re the best ! ❤️

Clair, my f. Fig is dropping big green leaves! And when i was gently dusting some leaves they fall off with the slightest touch. (So stopped ofc) Been in the same spot for over a year, dont suspect root rot. Leaves are hydrated, green, blemish free. I guess the lower leaves are dropping down, those seem to be falling off maybe because of winter. I just hope the lower leaves can grow back so it won't look so empty.

I have two FLF plants and both last all the leafs. I wish I have known about you vedios before. Will leaf will regrow if I add some fertilizer you recommended and follow your instructions or buy a new plants

Hi. Great info. I have one fiddle leaf plant and it only has one leaf left. My cat was urinating in the plant!!! I have repotted it. Should I leave it alone? Or chop it down to regrow.

I have a huge Fiddle Leaf Fig tree touching my ceiling. I also have a very small one. I was wondering if I can plant the small one in the
large pot with the huge Fiddle Leaf Fig tree. I have room in the pot with lots of soil. I always take your advice, it works. 🌲

My fiddle leaf is a single plant that I got when it was a couple of feet tall. It's now 7 feet. I cut the top off and notched it to make it shorter and get branches. I got one branch and it grew back to how tall it had been. :) Recently it has dropped about a dozen of the original bottom leaves, making it look more like a tree trunk which I like, but I'm still worried about the dropping leaves. It's been in the same window for two plus years, the sunniest spot in the house, southern exposure and floor to ceiling windows, so I don't think it's the light. I did move it about 15 feet along the same window line, but it has the same sun. The dropping leaves don't look like the ones you showed that were the result of root rot. They are turning uniformly yellow and falling off. From about 3.5 to 7 feet, the leaves are dark dark green and solid. I don't see any sign of anything wrong with them. I put a moisture meter in and it says wet, though, even though the top couple of inches are dry. Do you still think it is root rot? I can't believe the timing of this video and that it popped up for me when I wasn't even subscribed! Thank you!

Very helpful thankyou for not going on on on....😊

I have a FLF that has not grown a single new leaf since bringing it home 3 years ago. It is in a happy environment… Full sun, regular, watering, humidifier present. Just recently it started dropping all its leaves and the branches are very brittle! I notched in between and got white sap but a months later nothing has changed. The most leaves fall post watering. What could be going on?

[AndrewFitzgerald-ch]

My fiddle leaf fig is getting moderate indirect light, has a grow light kind of directly above it so it isnt getting to the lower leaves. It is dropping it's lower leaves at a decent rate, 1-2/week. There are no signs of root rot and the leaves look healthy when they drop. Is this because the lower leaves themselves are not receiving enough light? Like do all the leaves need the same amount of light or if the upper half is getting enough light, is that adequate for the plant? Thanks!

Hi there, thank you for the video!! My mini fiddle leaf's leaves are turning lighter in color and then dropping, no brown spots. He gets plenty of light and I've made my own soil with perlite and bark to avoid overwatering so its not root rot. I had him in the window but it seemed like this was too much light/heat. I live in the desert, so maybe it's too hot/dry for him? I've seen conflicting information about watering needs... He's a small plant, like less than 2 ft and the leaves look really healthy, no spots or anything, just kind of yellowing and eventually falling off... Maybe this is normal? Also, I say him because his name is Barry Manilow - I give all my plants celebrity names. Maybe he's lonely? He's on a shelf now about 4 ft from the window by himself...

Hi! I was hoping you could help me with my fiddle leaf fig. My fig was showing signs of root rot so I repotted it, rinsed the roots, changed the soil, everything. I waited to water it for a couple of days until it started to droop. It’s been 3 days, it’s still not showing any signs of recovery and a few leaves fell off and the entire plant is lighting up in color. Please help, any advice will be appreciated!

[chrisbudka]

So I’ve put the cuttings into water and now they have nice leaves and one has roots stemming. One doesn’t. When should I put them pot them?

[ChrisALindsay]

Hi, Claire, What about a really dry environment. I had a dehumidifier in the same room as my plant to dry clothes and I wonder if this made the room too dry and caused the leaves to turn brown and fall off the plant? I will say the room was dark as I had the blind closed for a few weeks which could have been the other reason.

[priyokabi]

Hi, are the new leaves sensitive to touch? Because my fiddle leaf. drop off leaves ( only the new ones) if I touch them

[vickylamb]

Hi there! I noticed my fiddle leaf fog is dropping some bottom leaves, but they turn yellow before they fall off, or if I notice them turning yellow, I will snip them off. I don't suspect overwatering, the soil drains very well and I don't water often, and I don't suspect root rot becase the the leaves dont have brown spots before falling off. The started happening at the same time it stopped putting out new leaves (however the new leaves look really healthy!) . Just wondering if this is a concern. I purcahsed him about 3 months ago, and he's still in his nirsery pot. Thank you!!

I just recently repotted my fiddle leaf fig, and the leaves started to droop. I watched your video on why my fiddle is droopy, and I assumed that it was because of the repot. The only problem is that the leaves continued to droop after a few weeks and started fall off. The leaves loose the dark green color, lighten up and drop. There is not any brown spots other than the edema that I tried to fix by repotting into new, well-draining soil. I have recently watered as well. Do you have any idea on how I can fix this?

[Bllue]

So my old roommate decided to mover beautiful flf from her sunny, warm, south facing room, to an inner stair well landing that gets the most inderect light amd plenty of cold drafts. I realized recently that she also stopped watering it. All but one of its leaves have fallen off. What can I do to save it? It's too heavy for me to move.

[Emie]

help, it's in the sun room for years, same light as always, and the soil is dry, not root rot!
So what's wrong?
I repotted last year and it's been happy until this weekend
