• This is a great question - it happens sometimes. If you do not have a stem as part of your cutting, it may not develop new growth buds. You could try notching the stem below the leaf to try to encourage new growth. Please let me know how it goes! Claire

• Hi Parisa, The same thing happened to one of my older plants - this can happen in the winter when they start getting less light. You'll want to reduce the amount of water you give it and make sure it's in the sunniest spot in your house. The more light the better. It should be fine - it's normal to lose older leaves. Good luck! Claire

• Thank you for your question. Is there another area where your fiddle leaf fig can receive more light? Also, double check that your plant is draining properly after being watered. Those two things (sunlight and drainage) will help get your fiddle leaf fig back to health. Claire

• Thank you for your question! I would certainly give it some time with your fiddle leaf fig. Properly water your plant consistently and consider repotting into a larger pot as it grows. It looks like a great starter fiddle leaf fig that will grow over time. Thanks, Claire

• Thanks for your question. As your fiddle leaf fig grows you should find the spots will fade. Having new growth on your plant suggests you are giving it everything it needs. Good luck! Thanks, Claire

• Thanks for your question! You can certainly repot into a slightly larger container and cover the exposed roots with soil. This will definitely help the foundation of the plant so it grows healthy and strong. Thanks! Claire

• Thanks for your question. With root rot suspected and with the dark brown spots I would recommend making sure that you have a well-draining container, fast-draining potting soil, and that you aren’t watering too frequently. If you’re not sure whether your plant has wet roots, you can use a moisture meter to make sure the roots are drying out between waterings. Then, your plant should recover with proper drainage and watering. Thanks! Claire

• Thanks for your question. It does appear the plant is not receiving enough water or there is too much water draining out when being watered. No more than 10% to 15% of the water should drain out when it is being watered. A moisture meter may help so you can properly gauge that your plant is being watered properly. Thanks! Claire

• Thanks for your question and pictures. How is the humidity in your home? The relative humidity for your plant should be between 30 and 65 percent, so if your home humidity is much lower or your plant is near a heater, you may need to create more humidity for your fiddle leaf fig by misting or changing locations. It sounds like you have a great watering schedule. If in a few weeks your plant has not improved, you are welcome to ask another question. Thanks! Claire

• Thanks for your question, I am glad to hear you have the root rot under control. Do you think your plant may be draining out too much of the water you give each week? I would make sure you are not losing too much water. Only 10% to 15% of the water should come out your pot’s drainage holes. Wait a full week and check to make sure the top inch of soil is dry before you water again. Thanks Claire

• Thank you for your question! Your fiddle leaf fig looks to be in a great spot with a lot of sunlight. The curling edges of the leaves may be caused by slight under watering. Water until 10% to 15% of the water comes out your pot’s drainage holes. Wait a full week and check to make sure the top inch of soil is dry before you water again. Good luck! Claire
