I need help with my fiddle leaf! It’s been dropping leafs a lot lately and I’m afraid it might be dying. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Tanner the planter on instagram/facebook/youtube has great info on how to care for these! Basically they need to be near a window with a wide view of the sky and water when about 25-50% dry. Good luck!

what’s your watering routine?

#### Stban24 antwoordde op 2024-09-29

I water it about once week when the top soil feels almost completely dry.

depending on your lighting, sounds like it’s being overwatered. i wait until it’s abt 60% dry. try to use a chopstick because flf are tricky. does not likely need to be watered that often.
