I’ve watered about 20-30 cups of water into my fiddle leaf fig and the water is still not draining out of the bottom/ drain tray. I don’t want to over water but is this okay for such a large plant? Or is she just thirsty? She gets a lot of light

Overwatering is from high frequency of water, not high quantity

You won’t water from giving it too much water only if you give it water too frequently. For bigger plants put them in a bath tub/sink and let them sit in the water to bottom water and to flush out minerals occasionally put them under a shower head and keep pouring water into the pot until it comes out the holes

As long as it has actual drainage then I agree with the other comments. If you do not have drainage then you can absolutely over water it because without drainage the soil will stay wet too long.

This ^^^ absolutely.

Use a long wooden skewer (or something) and stick it in as far as you can. It will tell you the moisture line.

I always put my FLF in the shower. I water her soil until it’s drains freely out of the bottom and I also lets her leaves get a cold shower and I shake her trunk to make it stronger.

30 cups seems a bit much for that container not to drain anything out. Can you check to see if something is blocking it or if the bottom is wet? Is the top getting water logged or does it seem just wet?
