The branches can be trained into an attractive fan shape against a sunny wall to ensure your fruit receives lots of sunshine in order to ripen fully 😊 Figs in more exposed positions will benefit from a stout support system to prevent branches snapping in gales when wind catches their large leaves 😉 In the first few months of each year when the tree is dormant you may wish to prune back any awkwardly placed or long and leggy branches to 5cm stubs to create a more productive and attractive shape. You should remove any suckers from the ground.

The tree is now in full sunlight. Although it was growing slow at first, the plant seemed to be doing well. However, some of its leaves started turning yellow and brown in recent weeks. We had been regularly watering the plant, but when we read that it should be watered only once a week, we switched to that. The small amount of leaves that remain has not helped. turn yellow and brown and fall off. After inspecting the leaves, we didn’t find any bugs.

Janna Schilling greeneryunlimited.co. explains that the Fiddle Leaf Fig enjoys a humid, warm environment with plenty of sunlight and water. It is best to choose an area away from drafts or air vents, where there will be plenty of light. The ideal location is close to, or directly in front of, a western or southern facing window. East exposure works well as long as it is not too bright. The plant will also benefit from a few hours in direct sunlight. Your Fiddle Leaf will look its best if it is placed in full sun (where it will get over 6 hours of sunlight daily), and a humid area. This plant is not recommended for northern windows. They won’t thrive in places with very low lighting. We are grateful to Ketra Swartz who shared this information with us.
Fiddleleaffigplant.com This is also explained! In fact, fiddles don’t naturally grow in that lollipop shape, but must be pruned to get that way.
