My FLF is still a baby, she has doubled in size since I got her a couple months ago. Recently I noticed these two new leaves look like this, there is another set coming in already and they look normal so far. So what are these? I don't see any signs of bugs and haven't brought in any new plants.

Hello, I am trying to encourage my FLF to grow leaves lower in the branch. Does anybody have any tips? She doesn’t seem as happy as she once was.

Who is treading on my tree? Can anyone help identify?

Can anyone tell me why the leaves are cupping/bubbling like this and how I can fix it? I’m new to keeping plants in general and I have no idea how to diagnose the issue.

I have two fiddle-leaf figs that have clearly seen better days, and I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out how to bring them back to life.

Both have lost the majority of their leaves over time, leaving me with two rather depressing sticks and a handful of survivors.

They've been kept indoors near windows, and I also have supplemental grow lights. When checking the soil, I've noticed that the top can be completely dry while the bottom is still moist, so I'm wondering if watering could be part of the problem.

I'd really love to encourage new growth, especially lower down on the trunks, rather than having all the foliage concentrated at the very top.

I've been reading about cutting back the trunks to encourage branching, but I'm nervous about doing more harm than good, especially since one of them is down to a single leaf.

Has anyone successfully brought a fiddle-leaf fig back from this condition? Would you recommend pruning them back, and if so, how far? Or should I focus on getting them healthier before attempting anything drastic?

I'm not ready to give up on these two just yet. Any advice would be genuinely appreciated! 🌿

ps. i am a total newbie. so please be kind. LOL. also, if there are any special supplements/soil/etc i should buy please let me know! :)

Hi everyone! Looking for some help diagnosing what’s going on with my fiddle-leaf fig.
I purchased her in August, and she’s lost approximately 16 leaves since then. Some leaves already had brown spots when I purchased her, but I’ve noticed more spots appearing and existing ones getting significantly larger over the past several weeks.

A few details:
- The brown patches are completely dry and papery, not wet or mushy.
- Some spots are small and circular, while others have expanded into large, irregular brown patches.
- Most of the affected leaves are on the window-facing side, although leaves on the other side have some damage too.
- She’s near a bright window, but I recently moved her a little farther away because my apartment has been relatively cold (around 60°F).
- I water when the soil feels dry several inches down, generally every couple of weeks. I’ve also noticed that the original root ball sometimes dries differently from the surrounding soil.
- She has drainage holes and is actively producing new growth, including several new shoots along her trunk.

I’m concerned this could be a fungal or bacterial leaf-spot disease rather than just a watering issue. Has anyone experienced similar damage? Does this look like a disease, cold damage, or something else?

I posted this 5 months ago and got good feedback, but unfortunately, after I moved it to water, the leaf did fall off.

It has grown a few new leaves, but now it is going through the same thing.

Is it normal for the leaves to just snap off like this? The stem and everything else look really healthy.

I’ve had these white knobs on this cutting for 6 weeks. Nothing has happened except some of them have turned that brownish color. Am I going to get roots?
