Hi there! So glad I found your channel! I have a massive 10+ foot tall by 5+ foot wide fiddle leaf in my room, luckily I have vaulted ceilings! I’m curious how much fertilizer you use for your plants? Do you follow the directions on the container (I got the same kind that you recommended)? And do you change the amount based on the size of your fiddle leaf fig (less for smaller plants, more for bigger)? Thanks so much!! Jessica

@JulieKhuu 3 года назад

Yes, I follow the recommendation and eyeball it for my smaller trees. Thank you for watching Jessica! I want your tree! 😍

@silasd7348 3 года назад

These were great tips, and a good update video. Whenever people ask how to care for this tree, I just tell them to get it as close to a window as possible, and let the soil dry out between waterings. You hit those points perfectly. Personally with my plant, I put it out onto the sun porch in summer. It's leaves grow enormous. And of course, the best thing about them s how great of a decor piece they are, giving a nice vertical element to any space.

Now I know why its you....they houseplant link. I am an avid plant collector. My FLF has been a little tricky. From watching this video I think it may be the edema, so I may want to put her on a more rigid schedule. Now let me make a suggestion. Search for Planterina's FLF video. She shows a technique where you can encourage new branches where you want them. It should help your old gal get even more full and beautiful than ever...with patience of course. Now that I know we have this in common let me request a video: Arranging part of your plant collection in the common rooms of the house in displays that are attractive and not overwhelming to visitors.

@yvonnee3907 3 года назад

Hi what a beautiful collection you have!! I have a fiddle lead fig I bought about 2 years ago and the height is still the same (3.5’ tall..lol). It’s a single skinny stem- no branches. Most of the leaves have fallen off So only the half top has leaves but most of the big leaves tips turned brown and drooping down. The new leaves (most of it in the top area) growing are pretty small and thin in size. What should I do? Should I cut off the bottom half and propagate? Why are they not growing tall and to the right size? And why is the stem sooo skinny?

@JulieKhuu 3 года назад

Sounds like overwatering Yvonne. Water less, let the soil dry out before you water again. I wouldn’t attempt to propagate until February, right before growing season. You want to give it time to recover.

@theresaloots1033 9 месяцев назад

I overwatered my fiddle leaf tree and the leaves are one by one turning brown. It stands in the perfect spot and thrived for months until I drowned it with love. Do I need to change the potting soil and trim the dead roots away (if there are any) or can I just let the roots dry out and wait longer between watering?

I have a 60ft FLP in my yard in SW Florida Some the roots are above the ground and is producing a baby. When I cut it can I put it directly in soil or do I have to root it in water? Thank you in advance

@JulieKhuu 2 года назад

You may put it directly in soil, but there’s no way of watching it grow (if at all). Cut where you want more branches. The longer the cut stem, the longer it will take to propagate (might be months).

@trisha3338 3 года назад

Julie, I would like to purchase the fertilizer you mentioned but it comes in a one gallon size. Can you use it on other large house plants? I have a bird of paradise, a raphis palm, a dracena and a fiddle leaf fig. Love your videos!

@JulieKhuu 3 года назад

You would have to research the types of nutrients the other plants need Trisha. I have so many FLF plants, I’m happy to hold onto my 1gal size 😅 Maybe see if there’s any smaller versions from another company?

I am unsure about the amount to water. I once let my plant go without water for 30 days, then completely watered it to soaked point, let it sit in my tub till it wasn't dripping anymore. It's in a 12 inch pot. My plant has gone through s lot due to lack of knowledge. I first put it in "potting soil" that retained moisture, lall the leaves had brown spots, leaves falling off. Then, I asked the plant person at Lowe's who said to use the cactus mixture. I repotted it again to the cactus mixture, drenched it, let it dry out for a month (notes above). The leaves are very green, looking healthy. I think I need to figure out how much water to water it. For me, weekly is too much, but trying to figure it out. I also have it in an air conditioned room, near a window. It's not always bright in that room, but it seems to like it. I'll next look for a fertilizer specific to the fig. You might want to discuss amounts of water according to the size of plant/pot and soil. Thank you.

Thank you for watching and sharing your experience Denise! FLFs are definitely fickle, they like what they like and once you see them flourish, don’t move them! 😆

My fiddle fig is 3 years old and only 8 inches tall! It had 2 leaves, now 8, it is March now. My daughter said to plant it in a bigger pot, just scared because it looks happy, just a little small.

@JulieKhuu 3 года назад

Give it some time, FLF actually likes a pot scaled to its size so the roots can reach watered soil faster. Bigger pot, more time it takes to wet the roots. But yes, as the tree grows larger you can certainly repot to the next size up 👍🏻

I have two FLF’s I am getting minimum growth at best from the both of them. There are three plants in one pot which there is adequate room but the stems are really skinny. 😕 I water them when the gauge indicates but it never drains out the bottom. Am I not giving enough water I don’t want to over do been there done that. I use the same fertilizer but stopped when fall arrived. Any advice?

@JulieKhuu 3 года назад

It’s growing season soon Paula, new growth should be seen if the tree is healthy. Maybe bring the pot outside and douse with water to drain with fertilizer. Wait until the soil dries before the next session. Sweet talk the plants, I’m sure with a bit of coaxing they might surprise you this season 😉

I need a little help well actually a lot! I’ve had this fiddly fig for probably about five months. It looked like it was doing OK I moved it from the direct sunlight that it was in,to more indirect location. I water it regularly but I keep getting these brown dry patches .just recently about 3 leaves fell off.! Is it to much water it enough 💦? You thoughts please 🙏

Too much water, try moving it back to the brightly lit area Kimberly

@JulieKhuu 3 года назад

I get holes in my leaves as well. If it’s small, I keep the leaves on the stem. If it’s large, I cut the leaf so the tree expends it’s energy growing new, healthy leaves. Hope this helps Estela!

When you say water how much water should you put in a 10 inch pot? 2 cups 3 cups? More?

@JulieKhuu 2 года назад

Start with 2 cups and see how your plant does after the week Pat. You can adjust accordingly if you find it’s too try

Hi, Im a newbie and someone gave me a cutting of fiddle leaf fig with 4 leaves. I had soaked it in 1/4 water with indirect sun. I heard it needs rooting powder and after a week of the stem with water, I am not sure how to dip it in the rooting powder. Can I still dip the stem in the rooting powder? Can I also take out 2 leaves and experiment to grow roots on the leaves? What's my option, water or direct soil to grow root after dipping in rooting powder. I Need yourhelp. Thank you.

@JulieKhuu 3 года назад

You may do either option Jocelyn, but I have only propagated my stems in water so I can watch it grow. Rooting powder grown in soil doesn’t allow you to monitor it, but works successfully nonetheless by the amount of comments I get. Try both 👍🏻🌿

I purchased 3 fiddles last week. One has spots and I was told not a problem. Now several leaves have spots. I believe you stated edema. What should I do?

Edema happens to the best of them. Sometimes they grow out green and verdant. Just monitor them and watch your watering Yolanda. Cut back a bit if the edema persists

@saltrivercrafts 3 года назад

I got my first fiddle leaf fig about 2 weeks ago. I have only watered it when it’s dry. But when I got it some of the leaves already had brown spots and feel very dry. Should I remove those leaves to give the best results to the good leaves or let them fall off on their own?

Remove them so the plant can expend its energy for the healthy leaves Kayla 👍🏻

@primaprim 3 года назад

Hi, I’ve read that a single leaf propagation of a fiddle leaf will result in a leaf with roots but will never grow a stem and grow into a tree; only stems with a leaf/leaves will. Can you please confirm if that’s true from your experience in propagating your fiddle leaf?

@JulieKhuu 3 года назад

So far, that’s true. My leaf is growing more leaves, but not a separate stem
