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.

Hope that’s helpful!

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!

I’ll be sure not to overwater, thank you!

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