Fiddle Leaf Fig  
I bought this one on sale, but when I bought it home, I noticed it seems a bit scrawny. I don’t see this thick roots to become a huge tree. Should I be concerned or is it still a baby. Hopefully it can grow into those big ones, I have hope 😅😅.

It’s tiny compared to how big it would need to get for it to develop anything resembling tree roots.

They grow a couple inches a year usually you’ll start seeing the leaves at the bottom shed which is totally normal and as it does that the main stems get longer.

This is my fiddle when I first got it about 2 years ago

Gorgeous

### Amira kommentierte am 2024-11-11

Just be careful with the size pot you use they don’t like big pots.

#### Yancy antwortete am 2024-11-12

Is it too early to propagate? 😅😅😅

#### Sylvia antwortete am 2024-11-12

I didn’t even know that maybe that’s why mine is not growing I mean it’s alive but not really growing

Is my pot to big?

#### Amira antwortete am 2024-11-13

I would say yes i would wait till it settles in and get a little bigger if it’s a single stem propagate it later on if it’s 3 stems like mine it should be fine unless you want 2

#### Amira antwortete am 2024-11-13

Yes wayyyy too big

You definitely have a baby there! Depending on light, water, and fertilizer, FLF will grow anywhere from a couple inches to a couple feet each year. It's possible with optimal care to have a the tree you want (assuming about 5+ feet tall) in a few years, but these plants can be so temperamental that I wouldn't count on it being quick.

My great grandma always said growing houseplants into housetrees was a 10 year commitment and she'd rather just have her husband buy her a 5 foot tree to begin with 🤣
