My fiddleleaf leaf is doing really well. It’s very new and from a cutting of a mother plant and the shoot is coming out sideways and I’m just wondering if there’s a way to do it to where it grows up or what I should do.

    So I don't think it will grow out of the wooded area. You could try for more branches with the pinch method. Or chop it down and see what comes up.

      You just pinch off where the new growth it coming out. It can force new branches on different sides. I had to do it twice now my flf has 3 new branches. It will stop the growth from where it's coming now n

    Any time you cut it, new growth will come in the same direction that the leaf under the cut is going. It will go in a generally upward direction over time, but if you want to train it, you can use wire to move it the same as you would in bonsai, or just trim strategically.
