# Hi, My fiddle leaf fig is growing leaves at the bottom instead of…

_Pubblicato da Flf bottom leaves il 2024-08-23_

Hi,

My fiddle leaf fig is growing leaves at the bottom instead of having new growth at the top. Should I remove the bottom leaves to redirect the energy to the top? And im also wondering if the top node is dead.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I would leave it just as it is if it were mine.
