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?
