Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus Lyrata) being slowly murdered!
Comments (3)Can you give us a side-on view of the pot itself please? Did it come in a plastic pot and have you put that now into a ceramic pot? Anyway, pic please. Plants go into shops and nurseries at peak condition after being (often) coddled with supreme conditions of heat and moisture. They may have been hardened off but perhaps not enough to meet the ability of Joe gardener to care for them after that. Underwatering and overwatering are the major probs in early days as well as position. In terms of watering, you've gone from one extreme to another. What direction is that window facing? and I guess I should ask what city are you in? Ficus are almost unkillable so if we can resolve what's making it unhappy it should recover....See MoreFicus lyrata fiddle leaf fig - all leaf drop -HELP

Comments (2)you can use stick to straighten the stem, so it doesn't lean. top up the soil and cover the sticking roots. other than that the usual. provide as much light as you can and appropriate watering. provide artificial light for the upcoming winter moths. do that and the stem will fortify and straighten. if you want a bigger intervention you can cut the stem close to the ground and let it branch out and thicken. Your plant actually looks pretty good, not much wrong with it....See Moreleann_c_hubbard
