# My fiddle leaf fig is dying/ drooping and leaves are getting crispy…

_Posted by meg123 on 2025-12-13_

My fiddle leaf fig is dying/ drooping and leaves are getting crispy and falling off. I thought maybe it wasnt getting enough light and bought a grow light that I’ve only used for a few days but worriesd that its too much?

I live in a cold climate so feel like winter has been harsh betwern the cold environment and dry heat from the heater. I typically water once a week to 1.5 weeks until it drains from holes on bottom. Any tips? And should I keep the grow light?
