Is your fiddle leaf fig throwing a tantrum, dropping leaves like it's autumn in July? Don't despair! These beauties can be finicky, but with a little understanding, you can turn that frown upside down (or, more accurately, keep those leaves pointing upwards!).
First, **light is key!** Fiddle leaf figs crave bright, indirect light. Think near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a south-facing one. Too little light and they'll sulk.
Next, **watering woes.** Overwatering is a common killer. Let the top inch or two of soil dry out completely before giving it a good soak. Ensure proper drainage!
Finally, **humidity and stability.** Fiddle leaf figs appreciate a bit of humidity. Consider a humidifier or pebble tray. And resist the urge to move it around! These plants are creatures of habit.
With these tips, you'll be well on your way to a happy, healthy fiddle leaf fig. Good luck, and happy growing!
