Thank you!! My fiddle leaf fig lost all but one leaf when I first bought him and with your guidance he's now a proud owner of 8 leaves and thriving!

Wear headphones! Please, don't let the "loud music" keep you from watching this video. So.much.information you don't want to miss. Wearing headphones helped me hearing his voice abundantly better than when I tried to watch on my computer. Thank you so much for the great advice! 🧡

I'm on my third fiddle leaf fig plant and have had this one for about two years with zero leaf growth. I panicked previously when I tried repotting it and several of the leaves went yellow and dropped off. After watching this video last week I felt courageous enough to try repotting it again and watered it thoroughly and gave it some fertilizer - now after only a few days it's growing a new leaf! Thanks for this amazing video and helping me finally understand this plant!!

Awesome tips. I kept moving mine. I freaked out like you knew. Lolol. Also the explanation of different colors of browns and reds and their location was amazing. Best comprehensive video I've seen (of many). I'm a fan!!!

@andreaandersonphd8360 5 лет назад

Thank you for this! People kept saying not to over water my fiddle fig plant, so I stopped watering her, but the brown spots kept forming. After watching your video, I started water her more often and now new leaves are sprouting! Super helpful. :)

@laurachevrette8060 4 года назад

This was the most comprehensive plant care video I have seen EVER!! Nicely done 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@FemaleVillageElder 2 года назад

This is absolutely the most informative video I have seen on the subject. No one else has discussed the red spots and the causes, no one else has explained what the colors of the marks on your leaves mean in terms of watering or sun. Absolutely excellent video except the music is entirely too loud. I know sometimes we want to be hip and treat our audiences to music, but your information was much more important than the background music. Please do a discussion on the Monstera and the palms that I see you have growing. You have an excellent knowledge base.

@aurizaugalino2103 4 года назад

Such a nurturing attitude behind this video!!! It inspired me to keep my fiddle nice and happy and I’m excited to say my plant has been a part of my life for many months now. Thank you for making this!

@whoopsydaisy6389 4 года назад

My husband who knows nothing at all about plants tried to be nice and surprise me with one of these. He didn't know what it was but he thought it looked cool. I could immediately tell something was wrong with it so I whisked it outside and depotted it. The soil was chock full of tiny little white spiders and the leaves had tons of edema. I blasted every grain of soil off with the hose, power-washed the leaves, wiped each one top and bottom with Neem oil, and put in some fresh sterile soil. I just knew it wasn't going to make it. Three months later it's thriving and I've grown to love it so much. I would never have picked it myself but you're right about their character. It's become one of my favorites now and I look forward to propagating it when it grows a bit taller so I can have more than one.

@spittfyre365 2 года назад

2 yrs late.. but this one of the best videos I have EVER seen. On any subject. I'm a new Fiddle Fig plant dad. I'm trying my best to learn all the nuances of care. Your video was VERY informative.. AND the music wasn't as loud as folks claim. The music and tutorial had great symmetry. 🙏🏽

@TheGreatLockdown 5 лет назад

Ooh, I'm totally going to try that last tip about notching! I have a fiddle leaf totally thriving in it's South and West exposure.

@dek3278 3 года назад

@sakinahabdul-jaleel 2 года назад

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I have 3 Fiddle leaf figs and one is over 30 years old! You gave great info, especially on watering, and encouraging New branches!!!! Thank you!

@wildp4ndor427 3 года назад

I've always been told that fiddles are super temperamental but mine has always been super agreeable. I've had it since December and have 6 new leaves and active growing buds making more leaves. No dropped leaves either. Idk maybe watching videos like this helped me avoid that initial struggle. Thanks for your tips!

@daughteroftheking2979 5 лет назад

Thank you for ACTUALLY showing the notching!! I have watched other videos and they only tell you how and I know it seems self explanatory but I was always afraid to hurt my baby. Thanks!

@taylorwest5169 4 года назад

@twala1975 2 года назад

I’m so glad I found this page. I have 3 fiddle plants. One totally lost all of its leaves. I did everything wrong with this one but I repotted it and I’m trying to nurse it back. The other two I just got. I’m terrified because I don’t want to kill them. However this video has helped me to understand better. I’m trying my best to be a good plant mommy.

@kennykong9425 4 года назад

Be very careful when misting leaves and don't do it too heavily. The reduced airflow indoors can cause leaves to stay wet for too long and promote fungus or rot. Make sure there's good airflow or set a fan to run for a couple minutes. As long as the leaves dry out within an hour, you should be fine.
