Hi all-

Just a question about this fiddle leaf. The leaves on the bottom seem to be pointed downward while the tops are very perky. There’s a grow light at the very top and those leaves definitely get more light. Any thoughts?

Could point to other issues as well but the grow light is a good place to start if there isn’t sufficient light reaching those lower leaves throughout the day! If that’s not it, be sure to check under/overwatering (invest in a water meter if you haven’t already!) and make sure you use an appropriate soil mix (I use the ficus mix from Sybotanica and highly recommend all their soil mixes)

Thanks for the advice!
