One of the best videos on Fiddle Leaf. I bought one and cut in in half. First leaves were falling. Then browning. Finally I left them without water for two weeks then watered. They seem better now.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Our fiddle leaf was on its deathbed and following your advice on watering it’s doing so much better just a day later! Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to get a Fiddle Leaf Fig for so long but didn’t feel ready. I’ve watched so many other videos on how to properly take care of them and this is the best!!! Thank you ☺️
I keep mine's outside in bright indirect sunlight have had it for about 3 month's now I water twice a month with liquid organic fertilizer lightly and so far all is well thank you for a fantastic video and yours is looking fabulous
This is the best video for taking care of Fiddle Leaf Fig, very helpful, thank you. I tried very hard to keep them alive, but every time I bring a new one home, they won't last more than 3 months :-( Already kill 2 of them, will definitely buy a new one and follow your tips. Question, my living room sometime can't get sunlight from my window (when raining day), can i replace the sunlight with the ceiling lights or the table lamps? Thank you very much.
Thank you for your very informative video. I was afraid to water it so it runs through the bottom of the pot, I put stones at the bottom and I see that the tree does not sit in water. The water does sit at the bottom of my plastic tray, but the stones are preventing it from sitting directly in the water. The pot is much too big for me to remove it and water it like I see you have done. The Fiddle leaf fig is doing well, should I continue with my form of watering? 🌳🍃
Mines lost all its bottom leaves and had a lot of browning I moved it from place closer to a Window and hasn’t droppped anymore leaves hoping it makes it
How do you keep leaves to continue to stay on at the bottom? I prefer to keep the look as the one your using in this video. I do put it outside under shade. Because it's really hot here I do water it often. What am I doing wrong?
Great information; well done! I live in a colder climate zone and hope that if I follow your light and watering instructions I will be able to keep it alive. Wish me luck.
I have 2 flf- 6ft in height which are very top heavy and leaning very low.. please can you help..! Should I let it stand on its own or provide support?
Thank you so much, your video is so helpful. Your plant looks so beautiful. Now I realized all the things I have been doing wrong with mine. My plants leafs are yellow and brown. :(
that was super helpful! I have 2 question regrading 2 fiddles that I have. both were put outside and have gotten way too much sun. they are now sun drenched and have tuned yellow from scorching. I am bringing them indoors to rehabilitate them and want to know what is the best way of doing that? do I need to remove the yellowed leaves? Also, how to I shape a fiddle tree. one of my fiddles have just one stock and I would like to encourage it to branch out. Thanks again for your great video!
Great video thank you so much, the fig look amazing heal, how do you recommend to clean the leafs and make them look so shine and bright, I also tend to spry the leafs with regular water just to let her feel like it's raining, when the water dry it leaves scale on the leafs also since the leafs are quite large the tend to catch a lot of dust, what is your tip to clean her, also I would appreciate a link to a recommend mineral to use ♥️🙏🏻
There is definitely no need to spray the leaves. You can clean them by just wiping them off with a moist paper towel. If you want sheen and the plant won’t be in too much light you can use a light oil such as grape seed oil but keep in mind that it becomes reflective as your skin would with baby oil so could burn morewafilu if exposed to too much sunlight. We actually only use drippers info the pot and not overhead sprinklers on our larger plants. The leaves do not benefit from receiving water.

Hello I was hoping maybe you could give me some advice, I did a clipping from the top of my tree about a week and a half ago I have put it in water to try to propagate and it is in a window that receives bright indirect light for a large portion of the morning and then after that just receives natural light. Two leave started to get brown so I removed them and the branch is getting really wilted flimsy. Do you have any suggestions so I don’t lose this propagation and have made my tree look ugly lol
all the advice in this video is great except for the part where you said to put a layer of gravel in the bottom of the pot - that’s actually really bad for plants and increases the likelihood of root rot as it raises the water level and keeps the roots moist :(
When you say it needs to be next to a window, do you mean in front of it? Or can it be next to the window where it's shaded but it receives some indirect light? I'm always worried it's not getting enough sunlight. I bought two, placed one in the corner of the living room on an end table NEAR a window but not in front of it and placed the other one next to a window, but not in front of it. Is this enough sunlight? Both the windows face the WEST. Any tips would be appreciated! :)
Every video I listen to and every article I read tells me conflicting information on the care of these beautiful plants. I have read articles and heard on videos that yellowing leaves means it's getting too much water, which seems like other plants as well. And that brown edges on the leaves means it's gotten too dry. And that makes sense, but you are telling us the opposite now. I don't know who to believe.
butlerson lol I totally get where you are coming from. Remember, the key is to understanding that overwatering and too frequent watering are different things. You are welcome to message me personally if you have any more questions. Instagram would be the best way. :)
My plant looks nothing like this one. It is spindly, one stalk and has little leaves about 3 inches across. It's right by an east window. I'm wondering if it actually is the same plant or there is some other problem like light. It's at least 10 years old and I water it once every 2-3 weeks.
Hi, this is super helpful video. Thank you so much. Even tho I enjoyed watching and learning from your video, I still got a question.Today I got a soil and repot the tree to the bigger pot. After everything was done, I realize the soil was 'for in-ground use'... which I have a No IDEA what are the differences between in ground and ones it isn't... Since then, it is scraing me if this might kill the tree. The soil seems much heavier which means able to contains more water?! I have no clue anyway... In your opinion... do you think I should have this repot with something differnt than what I used with? Or the soil really doesn't matter? Hopefully I can hear back from you soon!
I think that an easier solution for you would be to keep a wooden dowel inside of the pot which you can take out once a week and see if the soil is still wet. I think that an easier solution for you would be to keep a wooden dowel inside of the pot which you can take out once a week and see if the soil is still wet If it's a quarter of the way or less go ahead and water it.
The problem with giving an answer like 4 cups of water is that this would depend on the size of the plant. Four cups of water would work for a smaller fiddle. 4 cups would fully wet the roots of a 3 gallon plant. It would take 5-7 days in between watering for it to fully dry out. So yes that can also be a correct answer. Same concept
@@casandralark9281 my plant is in the same size pot as in this video, and same size plant so she put in a hose and drenched it. I think I'll do 4 cups every 7 days
Dakota Fleming you’re right, just like a bonsai. I guess I just like things to grow big! My local garden center had dwarf leaf fiddle leaf figs! Their the perfect size.
All that overflow while watering is Flushing alot of your nutrients out of your soil! You do want to flush out the salts but too much water isn't good!

So glad you can appreciate that. I agree people drone on way too much. I’m ususally like ugh I don’t care.

You did a beautiful job at presenting this, thank you!!!
Looove the way you explain things. Thanks!
That figle looks amaaaazinggg!
Absolutely very beautiful house plants , and looking forward to find one in the store near my place , great sharing and thank you.
It’s a beautiful African plant. They can become stunningly massive.
I love my Fiddle Leaf Fig. Thanks for the tips.
Very helpful video. Very clear. I have a little fiddle tree and i love it. I can’t wait to see it this big!

Your plant style is amazing but your style is much better than that . I forgot I'm here to learn about plant when I saw you 😉
I was just looking one of this yesterday at the store and been wanting to buy one. This is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that’s a pretty fiddle
Beautiful tree!

Oh. my. God.....
every thing is very very very Lovely & nice .thanks. alot
3:19 the method of placing rocks in the bottom is no longer used. This actually keeps.the roots wet for longer.
Love you direct explanation
Thanks lady helped a lot !
Adorable!
Thanks you. I just brought yesterday. It is baby plant. Will follow your suggestions.
Thanks for the video. FYI sound is only on the left side. Most people if they only use one headphone it's the right that is used.
Does the plant shed its leaves ? Such a beautiful fiddle cos am having a hrd time finding such closely arranged fiddle plant.
Which fertilizer would you suggest? Would you please give me a name and I will look for it online. Thank you
Tks Sandra. Very Informative
Great tips. Thanks
I bought a fiddle leaf fig the cover came off going to the car didn't hurt it at all and it was sub zero they can take more than a person thinks

Heather Jones tell me how did it go?
What an absolute beast. Never seen a fiddle leaf this nice. Looks so good in that basket planter too. Are there more than two plants in there?
It's brand new so it's fresh from perfect living conditions
I have 2 flf- 6ft in height which are very top heavy and leaning very low.. please can you help..! Should I let it stand on its own or provide support?
How old is this one? 'cause I wanted to know when mine gets this shape..... 😅
Thank you so much, your video is so helpful. Your plant looks so beautiful.
Now I realized all the things I have been doing wrong with mine. My plants leafs are yellow and brown. :(
Nice tips thank so much 👌🏽

Next to the window is perfect

What does it mean if the Leafs keep falling off?. Thank you.
not the best area. probably needs more sun
What is the black stuff ?
Damage from overwatering
Wow I didn’t know you have to FIDDLE around with it.Get it?
Love the Fiddle Leaf, but I love the woman even more. She is cute and thick as ever!!!
am I hearing a Venezuelan cuatro in the background?
Red spots start to appear on new leaves on my fiddle leaf fig. Do you know what might be causing that problem?
Heatherzhany b.
It’s a problem with infrequent watering
Too much sun
red spots are the cells bursting. it happens if you’re watering too much
🌿💞💚👍
What about cold draft? Is it good for the plant or not?
You drink it after watering the fig.
no
beautiful plant but the plant don't have nothing on you baby!
No audio! I thought it was me, so I checked other videos and came back to this one, still, no audio but a weird song.
Put your other earbud in :)
I thought the same thing.
Then why do others say 4 cups of water every 7 days
.. I'm so confused:(
The problem with giving an answer like 4 cups of water is that this would depend on the size of the plant.

At some point your going to have to remove it from the growers pot.
Remove ,trim roots ,put back .voila!

Did this channel move??
good video but please work on your sound mixing.
If you have any advice I will appreciate it very much. I am just using a microphone plugged into my camera the I use iMovie to edit. Any tips?
never knew fig tree was that sensitive !
Yes! They are total divas
What happened to your audio?
This woman seems real good with wood.
Clear voice would be nice. Can't hear or understand it.
Only ear the music
them tight jeans tho
“She”?😂

Good video, voice too soft, music is a little loud and is hard to hear your voice.
All that overflow while watering is Flushing alot of your nutrients out of your soil! You do want to flush out the salts but too much water isn't good!
I always advise my customers to top off with new soil every few months to help with this.
This much water is what lyratas like
That plant is a male.
Your video seems informative but I had to stop watching because of the annoying, totally unnecessary background music!!
PLEASE never use the music in the back again.
Miss mam i cant hear your voice at all :x
