# I have a fiddle leaf fig that I put it outside because I thought it…

I have a fiddle leaf fig that I put it outside because I thought it was on deaths door but then it grew 3 new leaves and starting another one my question is the soil is completely drenched from all the rain we've had so should I repot or just leave it the way it is

I wouldn't repot just yet.

Back away slowly. Don’t make eye contact! My fiddle fig needs constant words of affirmation but I’ve heard some people have fiddle figs that die after making eye contact!! Seems like you have a “leave me be” fiddle fig 😂

I’m convinced fiddle leafs belong outside because I chop mine to zero every spring and it’s a full tree by July 😌

Ok thanks now I also have some brown on the edges of the leaves should I cut the leaf off
