Hi all!  
I have read that I should cut the top of my fiddle leaf fig. Please look at pictures and see if it’s time and how to do it. Thanks!

I’ve never heard of cutting off the top unless you want to propagate because it’s too tall or dying. Why are you cutting it?

I watched a YouTube video that said it would help it grow. Should I be concerned that it keeps smushing together instead of leaves turning down a little?
