My Fiddle Fig is alive but isn’t thriving too well…. I saw this and didn’t know what it was…haven’t seen any bugs at all..brought it in the house 2 weeks ago..zone 6b..also it’s droopy…couple of leaves have come off.. also some roots on top (maybe root bound) included a pic of that… I need some advice please and thank you❣️

How much light is he getting, how often are you watering, and what setting did he come from (he could definitely be in shock)?

#### Terrie antwortete am 2023-10-22

In a south window..app has me water one week..fertilizer the next week and so on…I had her on the front porch that is south facing all summer… so I’m just hoping it is shock

Maybe it’s just shock. The newer leaves look good, so that’s a plus. If it persists and more leaves get bad, you may want to use a moisture meter to check soil before you water versus going off a set schedule. Soil type and current conditions plays such a role in watering frequency and Planta doesn’t always get it right… it’s good practice to go off the feel and performance of the plant versus a rigid schedule. I also end up making a lot of my own custom watering schedules on Planta. Just a thought! 🌿 Good luck!
