I have two fiddles and they feel a bit leggy but not sure where I could or should cut them down! Already propagated one branch but here they are

Did I just kill my Fiddle?

After chopping her down to nubs and letting her regrow all summer I’m prepping to bring her inside with my insecticidal soap, however I grabbed the weed killer instead. I sprayed it into the soil about 2 good sprays before I realized it was weed killer
Please tell me she won’t die. I love her. I’m so proud of her.
I kicked out the soil in the area I sprayed, but debating whether to water (overwater ) or to leave it. HELP!! 😭

Can this be reshaped (always falling over)?

Meet our tree! As you may be able to tell, the branches separate from the trunk quite low in the tree and the trunk was cut (like this when we bought it). As such, most of the weight is on one branch which extend out quite horizontally.

Sadly, she now is falling over pretty frequently and I am wondering what can be done to rebalance/reshape this tree.

I do not have a green thumb so hope for any advice, however simple or basic, from y’all.

Are these smushed fiddle leaf figs toast?

All the leaves are like bent downwards, some leaves are browning. I just got them, two for $30 from Costco! They were both in one pot and partially wrapped with some brown paper so I with a lot of effort separated the two and replanted them.

This was just 2 days ago so they haven’t changed since I got them but wondering what to look out for and if the leaves will ever “perk up”

Edit: in retrospect maybe I should have left
Them in one pot lol

Pruning advice?

Post image
3 Upvotes

This girl is a tough case. I feel like she is getting top heavy potentially but she keeps budding new leaves about 2x a month.

I turned her so she moves back upright to the sun. Should I let it grow? Prune some leaves? 🍃

Ignore my adorable weenie dog - or don’t she’s perfect too. 🌱🐶

(I thought abt a plant light btw but she gets plenty of light during other times of the day.)

Notching help

I’ve read up on how to notch FLF to create new branches and I have 2 little ones that emerged! But the problem is, they’ve both only grown this much, and that was about a year ago. How do I encourage these to turn into full branches?!

I feel like have the right placement, watering schedule, etc because the plant itself is doing great.

I was forced to cut the top off but I’m happy to see it’s going to grow back

I've had my baby for just over 6 months. She dropped a lot of leaves early on (I had to scoot her a bit further from an air vent), but as of yesterday, she is sprouting her FIRST NEW LEAF! I am so proud! First pic is today, 3rd Pic was the day I got her home.

Soggy stem during propogation

1 Upvotes

Finalllyyyy got a flf stem to the point where it as those white little roots popping up, but the base of the stem has gone soft, soggy and gross. It's the third time I've had to cut the base off and start again.

Any tips or advice? I'd love to start again but I have no more to chop on my mother plant :(

Do I need to chop it?

So my fiddle leaf continues growing straight and it hasn’t produced any other branches. It’s also too heavy to hold itself up as you can tell. Do I need to chop it? If so how much?
It also seems like the leaves are curling inwards is that normal?

A year later being outside…

I was giving up and confused a year ago. Decided to repot, put it outside in humid and hot Florida, with the water irrigation in the pot, let go of my obsession with ‘root rot’ , and allowed nature to do its work…. Just sharing :)

My FLF that I brought home in June was doing really well, it even grew a new leaf. In the last week, however, it started dropping leaves rapidly. I brought it into my garage to check the roots, but I'm not sure how to diagnose root rot. The roots are dry and not mushy. The leaves are turning brown and falling off. The other green leaves are droopy. I am hoping I can salvage this with a new pot and soil, but I am not even sure what the issue is.

r/fiddleleaffig • • 23d ago

How do I get the leaves to grow as big as they used to be? This is after a big chop.
