To add to your tips about light levels: The more light you can give them, the faster it will grow. It will also become a lot bushier in higher light levels, especially if you put it outside. They can definetly tolerate at least partial sun, since they are grown like that in warm countries. HOWEVER, if you want to put them in high light levels, make sure that you acclimate them to higher light levels slowly. If you do it too quickly, the chloroplasts in the leaves will die and your leaves will look burned.
Most fig plants have similar light level needs, I tested this with a weeping fig and a rubber fig too, it works well.

At 7:30 I saw that you cut the stem in the bottom. I have a stem like that which has many healthy leaves and it looks like it can be another main stem if I cut it right. Should I just cut or try to separate it from the main tree from the root?

I visited Puerto Rico and this trees are everywhere beautiful and thriving outside of some houses most of them in direct sunlight they look gorgeous and its because of the humidity… funny how a lot of them are simply trees not the expensive interior plants we pay hundreds here in the north

Does the water have to be distilled only?

My plant wasn't doing well and I ended up having to cut the main brunch. One of the sub leaves kept growing but now it sort of stopped. Could it be the reason? Otherwise I'll try your tips. Thanks :)

Hi❤ thank you for a wonderful video❤i have a question 😢😢😢 it's been two week that i got it from the store it has only seven leaves and there were lots of brown dots on them😢i thought i could change it so first i got it to home and clean its soil and wash the roots and i put everything needed in my soil like you said and gave it a very nice shower but and watered enough water 😢😢😢now leaves still look awful and dots again and it already lost her very new leaf 😢now other leaves are also drying out even if they are green🤔. It was standing next to my window 😢 it's so sad i got it for little expensive price but also i wanted to grow it so badly😢😔
