Fiddle Leaf Fig - Care & Rescue Tips 

Mine had red spots. I thought it was called edema. I backed off on the watering and they disappeared.

Ok, Im nervous. Got my first Fiddle today. It was 29.99 at Cosco and 5 feet tall. From the comments, the Fiddle sounds finicky. Sounds like you're damned if you do and damned if you dont.😮

That is not fungus, it’s edema from too much watering. You killed this tree using copper fungicide

There was a fitness commercial playing before this video. The guy kept saying "This is a metabolism killer!"

I was at HD this past weekend and found a nice size FLF in a corner with a bunch of other near-dead plants. The tree itself wasn’t in that bad of a condition and I knew I could save it. I took it to the register and because it had a yellow label on it and I told the cashier where I found it, he got angry and told me I should not take things from ‘the trash’. Undaunted, I told him I was willing to buy it anyway, thinking he might just give it a random price and I’d be on my way-but nooooo…. He got even angrier and told me those plants were NOT for sale and that he wasn’t going to tell me again!!! After standing there for a few seconds in shock that I was being dressed down for wanting to purchase something …in a store…I turned and walked out. I guess I’m going to have to find the clearance rack next time.

Finally someone that helps! Mine was overwatered leaves falling off… helppppp i took it out of the pot to drained it, let the roots dry. Next got fresh soil. Will it make it??

Thank you! I hope this helps mine! If not, I’m sending her your way 🤭

Saved my fidel from an aldi on clearance (it was 3.50) i did not know i was gonna have a DIVA in my home

I found the fiddle leaf plant it was some damaged and and dried out I brought it home gave it some water for now and wiped off the leafs. I'm hoping that I can bring it back

my flf confuses the hell out of me. I water it when its totally dry, typically every 7-10 days. I give it 1tsp of FLF fertilizer. It has sprouted TWO leaves in two years and multiple leafs have fallen off. What else can I do!?!?

Finally a great video that helped. Thsnk you so much for all the info

I live in the south and I leave mine on the deck all summer

Muy lindo vídeo

I just bought one of these at Aldi and it is super pretty. I live in an atrium ranch, so we have a walk of windows that faces east. The rest of our windows are west. I currently have the fig in our living room where the atrium wall is. It's about 10 feet from the windows. Does this sound like enough light?

💚

So I just bought my fiddle leaf fig tree maybe two weeks ago I’ve done nothing but water it once and all of the leaves completely shriveled up and are starting to fall off. I let it air out for a couple of days just in case I was giving it too much water because this happened the day after I watered. Any tips?😊

Can leaves come back from yellowing/paling? I have a huge tree that was doing so well but i repotted probably a year too late. It didn't grow much last year and slowly pale and lost a some leaves. i just repotted into a gigantic pot and as suspected the roots were totally coiled up. I'm probably going to top it but wanted to take it step at a time. I'm hoping the older leaves regain color instead of continue dying.

9/23. My FLF dropped leaves. Only has leaves at top. I repotted. What else should I do?

My FLF is too tall! Can I prune it to reduce the height? It dropped its upper leaves around the end of winter weather (its room was probably too dry, dark and warm) but it still has nice lower leaves.

well at least you saved it for a little while. it had a good life lol.
