I had both these plants (Money tree and Fiddle leaf fig) for just a week after my old plants died. I have no clue what I’m doing wrong… I water them according to what the app says, and they get a lot of sun from my south facing window. Please advise 😔 They already seem to be shriveling up and looking weaker!

    There is always an adjustment period for new plants, so they may look a little sad until they are more adjusted- which can take up to a month! I would also suggest making sure they have drainage, because both plants like well drained soil! I would also only water when they look dry- because I’ve found planta’s schedule can sometimes be too frequent or too short depending.

    Agree about planta’s watering schedule. It’s a good guideline/reminder, but definitely check the soil to see if it’s dry. Fiddle leafs will drop leaves if overwatered!

      Of course! fiddle leafs are tricky but they do love a lot of light!
