Care Guide
Place directly in front of a bright window; this tree thrives on plenty of indirect, bright sunlight.
Water thoroughly once a week and allow the water to drain completely; never let it sit in a saucer of water.
Do not move the plant abruptly; they are creatures of habit and will drop leaves if subjected to sudden environmental changes.
Common Problems & Solutions
Why are the edges of my Fiddle Leaf Fig leaves turning brown?
Brown spots on the edges usually indicate under-watering or very dry air. Check soil moisture regularly.
Why is my Fiddle Leaf Fig dropping seemingly healthy green leaves?
Leaf drop is a common stress response to sudden drafts, moving the plant to a new location, or cold temperatures.
