# I’m not having high hopes for this poor gal. I’ve repotted down,…

_Posted by Christine on 2023-08-06_

I’m not having high hopes for this poor gal. I’ve repotted down, checked roots, fertilized, put in a great window. Her sibling is thriving but this one isn’t growing and looks like I just plopped a branch in soil. The leaf wounds are old. Not sure what to do with this poor girl. I’m tempted to just set her on the patio and see what happens because I’m maybe over momming her lol.. any suggestions?

Fiddely figs can be dramatic sometimes if they dont get the exact conditions the individual plant wants, what works for one fig wont always work for another. Ive had good luck with my fiddley on my porch but thats where my grandma kept it before she gave it to me but its worth a shot if nothing else has been working!

I feel bad saying it, but it’s just kinda taking a space for another plant at this point. I’ll try the porch for a while

Maybe try misting it every week to keep the humidity right

The 2 fiddles have their own humidifier though

Mine was looking kinda bad so I cut it back to 2 sticks and put outside. She quickly grew back all lush. I think sometimes they need to start over

Mine ended up succumbing but I found out that it was thrips for me
