I just got this fiddle leaf fig and it’s in a 12” nursery pot. Can I leave it in this pot? Any tips helpful.

could you? yes. SHOULD you? absolutely not. there will be very little new growth if any, and if you’re looking to reuse the pot it will get harder by the second.
4개 좋아요Thank you! My only concern is that due to the shape of the pot it is slightly tapered at the bottom. A fraction smaller than the nursery pot. Will that be an issue if I repot it?

좋아요 1개Can I repot it in this pot? Remove from the nursery pot and add potting soil?
좋아요 1개Ideally your pot would be at least an inch bigger than the pot you have right now, I’d even say a couple inches due to how compacted the roots are. The biggest thing though is the drainage. I see it has a tray, does it have drainage holes?
5개 좋아요Yes there is a drainage hole
