# I’ve had my Fiddle Leaf Fig for about 3 months off Facebook…

_Posted by R on 2026-05-15_

I’ve had my Fiddle Leaf Fig for about 3 months off Facebook marketplace. It’s always been droopy but continues to grow new leaves. It’s watered whenever the soil starts to get dryish and it’s facing west. Any recommendations?

As much light as you can possibly give it! That’s my one word of advice that I’ve seen, they aren’t low light plants at all😅 I’d also check the roots as always!
