I have these two fiddle leaf figs and they’re both struggling a little bit. The smaller one has leaves that are very wilty and the rest fell off the other stem. The larger one was left with a friend and was underwatered for a bit, which I think is the cause of the crispy leaves. But I just spread to a new leaf, so I want to be sure. Any advice?

How much light are they getting? They like quite a bit, either part sun/ shade or full sun. Also, how dry do you let it get wet between watering?

Haha that was confusing. How dry to you let it get between watering?

The little one is not really in the sunlight, but the larger one gets part sun! I let the larger one get really dry before I water it. The smaller one takes longer to dry out, probably because it’s not in the sun 😂. I just moved the smaller one to the windowsill.

Make sure you got proper drainage! Mine was in a pot with no drainage and was dying so fast. Moved it to a pot with drainage and added some sphagnum moss to the top, and now it’s flourishing! Also mist often to encourage leaf growth
