My fiddle leaf fig is starting to lean now that it’s getting taller. What’s everyone’s favorite support for these? Or do I need to cut it? I like the height so I’d rather not yet if I don’t have to.

You can also rotate it so it grows evenly upwards. When I have a plant that’s leaning I turn it so it leans away from the sun and it will correct itself over time and become straighter

Yes— rotate regularly. 👏🏼
2 J'aimeYes, either rotate or use a rod to help it stand! Don’t cut it though because many would LOVE a fig as tall as yours!

It looks like it’s reaching for more light to me. You could move it a bit more in front of the window or stake it and add a supplemental grow light directly above.
