# I’ve had this fiddle leaf for 3 years now and for the most part she’s…

_Posted by Brit on 2023-07-30_

I’ve had this fiddle leaf for 3 years now and for the most part she’s been great! But there’s always 1 or 2 leaves that turn brown on the ends and I’m not sure why. I cut some of the brown part off one of the leaves to see if that would make a difference instead of removing the entire leaf and the end is turning brown again. Any tips? Does anyone know why this is happening???

Also, this is a ficus Audrey, not a fiddle leaf. Same family, but not the same plant.

Fiddle leafs are ficuses

I know. I said same family. Not same plant.

An actual fig tree is not

No worries! ☺️

Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the fiddle-leaf fig. Ficus is a large genus of plants not a family.

A fiddle leaf plant and a ficus Audrey are not the same plant. A fiddle leaf is a ficus. A ficus Audrey is a ficus. They’re both ficus’, but not the same plant.

Anyways, I think Brit gets the point. Thanks.

Personally I find fiddle leaves are not actually that so I recommend doing a complete rehaul using something like google then doing a spreadsheet of basic care for your plants usually helps you find what a plant maybe needing. Most of the time is lighting and humidity.
