It just occurred to me how much time, gas, money I have saved watching these videos. Instead of heading to the store to buy things or ask for advice I have been able to use this resource. I'm trying to encourage new leaf grown until my stem becomes thick enough to notch and start a new branch. In Ontario the four seasons really do a number on our indoor and outdoor plants. The winter is cold and dry while the summer is hot and humid; two extremes. Needless to say my plant is not growing fast. I'm trying to gently sway the plant to encourage strength but this will take time. Until then, I have been watching these videos likely saving my 3 fiddle leafs from suffering too much. Thank you to all involved in making these videos and providing this resource xoxo

Oh, I also repotted it a few weeks after I bought it into a larger pot, I don’t think it was root bound but it was a four inch pot and I put in a six inch pot.

I’ll give the coffee a go! Will update when I see the changes. Thank you so much! ❤

[rheahibionada]

Thank you this was so helpful and succinct!

Hi Claire, Thanks for all your advice to the Fiddle Leaf Community. I have a 4 year old one which has grown over 7.5Ft tall but absolutely no branches. Plant look healthy with huge healthy leaves with couple of small ones (I think happened when I slack in feeding her). I feel jealous watching your fiddle leaf which are so robust. Kindly advise. I wish I could attach a picture along with this text. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you

[sandyheredia]

That’s the same issue with me! I have her on southwest window and a grow light! Maybe I’ll try the coffee

So, just give it some Joe, awesome.❤

None of the ideas apply because it was growing beautifully until I repotted with nutrient rich soil and cut two leaves off. Stopped growing for two weeks now but looks healthy. Any ideas?

[jesseflake]

Hi Claire, I’m wondering if I need to repot. My fiddle is outputting great leaves. Beautiful, large and rich green- plenty of them. I’m trying to figure out how to to encourage height?? I bought a snake plant at the same time and it has grown at least a foot, whereas the fiddle has grown no more than 6inches. It’s been close to 2yrs since I brought it home.

Hey claire. I have a question. I rescued a fig from a local grocery store. It dropped all of its leaves. Its growing new leaves at the bottom, but none up top. Do i cut the rest off? Thank you

My FFL is very healthy and growing like crazy out of one branch almost touching the ceiling. The lower branch has stopped producing leaves. What can I do to encourage the lower branch to leaf and what to do about the one that is touching the ceiling?

[jessicawoodward]

My problem isn't with my fiddle not growing it is with it growing so much that I am debating on whether to clip it down and set the clippings in water. I'm so nervous to cut her at all though. I also have a lot of lower leaves and I'm nervous to clip them off too. Haven't had any leaves fall from the bottom in a long time and they're SO much smaller than the rest of the leaves.

Coffee on the leaves or soil or both 😆?

[lienecarter]

Hi, i use cold watered down leftover coffee on my plants. My fiddle puts out new growth consistently. The leaves tend to stay standing straight up. Looks strange, opposite of droopy leaves. And the color of the leaves is pale. Not yellow but pale green and whitish. The leaves often open with tiny holes also but i have never seen any bugs. The plant more than quadrupled in size in one year so i dont think that would be a nitrogen deficiency. I use a lot of rock dust and azomite for trace minerals and my bunny provides most of the fertilizer. I do think it needs repotting after all that growth but right now i have a fungus nat problem and want to wait. I dont see signs of root rot on her.
