# Any fiddle tree saviors out there? My fiddle tree seems to be on its…

_Posted by NewbiePlantMami35 on 2024-07-31_

Any fiddle tree saviors out there? My fiddle tree seems to be on its last leg. I know I need to move it into more sun. I have shutters so I think they take away more direct sunlight than it needs. I’m moving it to the south facing window. What else could I do to help it? TIA.

It has lost so many leaves.

I just rehabbed mine. Under a grow light and she did not like it. But I tried multiple methods and she’s growing fully again. I bent the stem on mine as much as it will allow and it started forming nodes on the lower half’s. And it worked. ! But then I broke the top off on accident 😭 but she’s doing great.

The first photo was before she started dropping leaves and this last photo is it currently.

South facing window sounds like a good idea. Keep an eye on it, too much direct sunlight and the leaves will burn. Go through the usual checklist, check the soil, watering frequency, fertilizing schedule, maybe do a root check if things don’t improve. Sometimes they are just dramatic. Told my fiddle to send yours good vibes.
