My Ficus lyrata finally grew a new leaf after months of nothing, and I'm genuinely thrilled. I think the breakthrough was moving it a few inches closer to my east-facing window—it gets gentler morning light without the harsh afternoon sun. I was worried the browning leaf edges meant it was dying, but apparently it just needed better light conditions. Has anyone else found a sweet spot for theirs, or do yours prefer more direct sun?
