I recently got Frank, my first ever Fiddle Leaf Fig. He’s looking happy with new growth but I’ve never been so nervous about caring for a plant 🤞🏼

Ooh we love frank! I have a fig too and it’s gotten so tall! They’re great plants! Just don’t leave it in direct sun too long otherwise it stays happy!

No direct sun as such, but I do have a grow light placed above
