The Fiddle Leaf Fig Has a Large Following
In a post about the return of the fiddle leaf fig, a popular Instagramer shared her tips for keeping the plant looking healthy and growing strong.
“They’re back ready to give fiddle leaf fig another try? Here’s my tips: Tons of light. Add a grow light if you don’t have a large unobstructed south facing window. Do not repot. At least wait a few months (it’ll be ok!). Only water when it’s completely dry. Use foliage pro fertilizer every time you water. That’s it! Clean the leaves occasionally to remove dust too.”
Fans of the plant jumped into the comments to get more info. “What fertilizer do you use? I bought a mini one compared to yours a couple weeks ago,” one person asked.
