# Fiddle leaf fig- more like Fickle leaf. Can someone tell me the issue…

_Posted by Trying: Plant Gal on 2025-09-06_

Fiddle leaf fig- more like Fickle leaf.  
Can someone tell me the issue with this guy? When I got him he was full and tall!!  
I am on the watering schedule from this app but maybe it’s not enough?  
It’s in a corner with no vent near it and there is light from a window on the opposite wall but sun doesn’t directly come into it.

To be honest, I never trust the app or care cards with plants. I always Google or check multiple forums to get a consensus on each plant because so many factors impact it. For example, most of my plants need water when the first 2 inches are dry but some it’s 25%-50%.

Good call. I’m thinking this guy needs more
