I just got this fiddle leaf fig from Home Depot today! 💚💚💚 I love it! I wish I lived closer to Home Depot; I was tempted to buy the whole plant section out, haha.

Any tips on caring for it are greatly appreciated!

Naturally youll loose 2/3 leaves ; theyll drop off and its just the plant adjusting. once you find a spot for it leave it be. They can be damatic when moved. Water when top 2” sre dry to the touch. I mist occasionally and i clean leaves once a month. They love to be root bound and rarely need re potting. They thrive in indoor or outdoor. If you place yours inside shake the stem everynow and again to strengthen the base .

Here's a picture of mine for some inspiration . 1 indoors and 1 outdoor

Thank you so much, this is very helpful! Will the plant eventually branch out naturally, or will I eventually need to prune it in order for it to branch?

#### Teejaay replied on 2026-06-01

Prune back to branch

You do need to prune it if you want it to branch out.
