# Help! My fiddle leaf fig dropped four leaves this week. I purchased…

_Posted by ak on 2026-02-01_

Help! My fiddle leaf fig dropped four leaves this week. I purchased this in August and up until a week ago the plant looked healthy throughout, now bottom leaves are droopy and lighter in color. Any ideas?

Where do you live? Does the heat run often? It sounds like it could be a humidity issue.

Minnesota. Heat has been running more than usual lately due to cold front.
