• Thank you for your question, great job with your propagation! The root 'popcorn' is the first signs that roots are forming. You can speed up the process by using a Propagation Promoter and Rooting Hormone and placing the vessel ontop of a heating mat.For more help, please post your photos and questions inside our supportive Facebook Community!

• Hello, thank you for your question! Yes, if your plant is receiving the same amount of light and the temperature is consistent in the room that it is in, it should recover fine from any pruning that is done.

• Thank you for your question. Congrats on your healthy fiddle leaf fig! Continue to fertilize your plant to encourage it to grow. A 3-1-2 NPK Ratio Fertilizer like Fiddle Leaf Fig Plant Food is best for your plant. Also, you can attempt to pinch or notch your branch to encourage it to grow more if you like.

• Hi there, thank you for your question! It looks like your plant is not receiving the adequate light it needs. Best to move it directly in front of your brightest window. Protect it from any direct sunlight by using a sheer curtain. For more help, please post your photos and questions inside our supportive Facebook Community!

• Hello and thank you for your question! Does the pot have multiple drainage holes? It may not be draining properly and the root system may be staying too wet. Best to have it in a nursery pot with multiple holes on the bottom and water until it drains out. Then wait to water again when top inches of soil are dry. Continue using the Fiddle Leaf Fig Plant Food and Root Supplement to help treat and prevent any future root infections.

• Thank you for your question and photos. I suggest moving your plant to the right so it has the full benefit of the light from the window it is next to. Most likely it is not getting enough light being pulled to the side of the window. When watering, ensure you are watering until it drains out the bottom then wait to water again when the top inches of soil are dry.

• Hi Rachel, thank you for your question! What a beautiful tree! You can prune it into the shape you like just making sure not to trim off any more than 10% of the total amount of leaves at one time. So if you want to prune multiple areas, it is best to do it in stages to help the plant recover in between. Here is a helpful pruning video for you to check out as well.

• Thank you for your question. Yellowing can be due to natural aging, but it may be a lack of nutrients. If your soil has not been changed in 2 years, it may be time to repot into fresh fast draining soil. For more support, please post inside our Facebook Community.

• Thank you for your question! It is the correct solution. If you scroll through the images from the Amazon listing you will see the solution is a dark brown color. You can scale back and use a few drops so the propagation container remains transparent. This is the correct formula of the Houseplant Propagation Promoter and Rooting Hormone.

• Thank you for your question. It does not appear to be the start of root rot, but if it continues to spread, I would asses the drainage in your soil and how much/how often you water. Make sure when you water it is draining out the bottom drainage holes. For more feedback, join our Facebook Community and post for quick support from other fiddle leaf fig owners.

• It can be saved! I recommend aerating the soil at the least so any watering will be able to soak the root ball. The soil looks very compact and dry. Try watering until it drains out the bottom drainage holes (after aeration) and don't water again until the top inches of soil are dry. This should be around every 7-10 days. You don't have to remove any damaged leaves unless they are more than 50% damaged. With the 3rd stick that looks unhealthy, chop it down until you see white/green inside. If it is hollow, that means that portion is dead and cannot be revived. Keep in the brightest possible light you have right up next to a window in your home. Or leave it outside under a covered awning or pergola to help it come back to life.

• Hello, thank your for your question. How is the drainage out the bottom of the pots and is the bottom soil staying too moist? I recommend holding off on the fertilization and removing any leaves that are more than 50% damaged. Continue to place the plant directly in front of that window and regularly rotating it so all leaves get the full benefit of the light. Also, our Facebook Community has over 50,000 members and you may get advice from others who have similar issues. Posting there will be helpful!

• Thank you for your question! Has your plant been sprayed with anything lately? Any misting or showering and the water has been left on the leaves? If so, the minerals and deposits can sometimes cause the leaf to discolor. If not, I suggest joining and posting inside our Facebook Community. With over 50,000 members, you will be sure to get feedback on your leaf spots.

• Is it getting adequate light? I suggest continuing to water until it drains out the bottom and remove any excess standing water. Then wait to water again when top few inches of soil are dry. Also, make sure the whole plant is getting adequate light. Regularly rotate so all leaves get equal exposure to the light.

• Hello and thank you for your question! I recommend removing any rocks from the top of your soil and ensuring you are only using a fast draining soil in a pot with drainage holes at the bottom. The rocks are inhibiting the soil from drying out properly and not allowing proper oxygen to get to the aerial roots. Also, I recommend watering until it drains out the bottom drainage holes then waiting until the top inches of soil are dry before watering again. This should be around every 7-10 days.
