Fiddle Leaf Fig Repot?

Ellen Bshaw
3 years ago

I just bought a FL at Home Depot. Many years ago when I first got into plants I had one and killed it. I never bought another. Being the owner now of over 80 houseplants I am ready to try again with the FL. This plant is in a 10 inch pot. Some of the roots are on top of the soil. I know it needs to

acclimate before I repot it. My question is should I or just leave it as is? I want to put it in a fast draining soil instead of what it is potted in. Also I stuck a “tell” into the pot and dirt was still on the tell which ordinarily I wouldn’t water anyway unless it came out dry. I water all my other plants that way, but I don’t want to kill this, as you might be able to tell I am still intimidated by the FLF! Also I use pro foliage for my plants, I have seen special fertilizes for FLF is it necessary to buy them? Thanks for any tips and help you can give. Ellen
