Ficus has fallen and it can’t get up! Has anyone ever had this happen before? It seems super healthy, growing a ton, but I was surprised to find it had bent over 90 degrees overnight. I’ll be propping it up with a support pole and hoping for the best, but geez what a drama queen!
As they grow bigger they do need support, if you do not spend your pot each time you water so the sun will make stems grow evenly
1 like I do rotate it with each watering to keep it even. I think it just needs some support like you said! This is the biggest of this variety I’ve grown, so I wasn’t prepared for her to just topple over so suddenly.
1 like I would check your root ball it may be bigger than the pot. When was your last repot. This plant will stretch for the light as well. You have it in a window so that shouldn’t be your issue
