Let’s clear the rumors. Fiddle leaf figs are not “impossible.” They just have standards.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light. Think “next to a big window” not “dark corner aesthetic.”
💧 Water: Water thoroughly. Then let the top 2–3 inches dry out before watering again. They hate soggy roots more than they hate being ignored.
🪴 Soil: Well-draining. Chunky. Airy. No swamp situations.
🌫️ Humidity: They appreciate it but won’t faint if it’s not a rainforest.
🔄 Rotate: Turn her every couple weeks so she grows evenly. Otherwise she WILL lean dramatically toward the light like a Victorian woman with a secret.
Freya has entered her stable era and we are not stressing her out !
If you have a fiddle leaf — tell me:
Are you thriving together… or in a toxic situationship?
