Mine finally stopped dropping leaves after I moved it away from the heater and stopped watering so much. I think I was just overthinking it—turns out fiddle leaf figs in my climate actually prefer to dry out between waterings, which I didn't expect. It's been three months now and new growth is showing, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Has anyone else had success by basically ignoring theirs a bit more? I'd love to know if this was luck or if I actually figured something out.
