I'd repost this at the houseplant forum... Lots of new fiddle leaf fig owners post here for help but the people who read this forum are experienced with edible figs which are cared for much differently.

I think it IS bright enough to sustain a healthy plant of this species, but not sure if it is good enough for healthy NEW growth. Mine go outside from about April to November 1 in sun both with a degree of protection from the hottest, midday sun. If putting it outside in the growing season is an option, be careful and let acclimate as your shade-growing plant will not be able to tolerate it initially. But being you're in an apartment, not sure how much more you want this TREE to grow anyways. Good luck. P.S., I love this species of Ficus, always reminds me of Caribbean Sea Grape (Coccoloba uvifera), but without the red veins.

Congrats! The real question is not how low you can cut (very!) but how low can you maintain it? Anything lower than 1 inch will require a lot more frequent mowing. As far as height adjustment, my rule is 2 notches down to get a decent scalp, then 1 notch back up for a new green top to grow in. However, you have to pick a starting point first--On a rotary, that's easy as it just the lowest notch. Can't make that assumption with a reel...How much length are we talking about right now?

OK, so #3 is positively ID'd as Aptenia cordifolia variegated Baby Sun Rose. # 4 has also been positively ID'd as Echeveria 'Doris Taylor' Wooly Rose.
