Photos go from most recent to oldest. I watered my previously healthy fiddle leaf as normal just before leaving for 6 days, when I got back (a little over a week ago) she was drooping, sad, and some of the lower leaves had yellow veins and/or brown spots. I checked the roots and nothing looked smelly or mushy, and the soil was mostly dry, so I thought maybe she needed nutrients and gave her some FLF fertilizer. That was maybe 5 days ago? She's been slowly dropping leaves ever since. As a last ditch effort I put her outside since it had been pretty humid. She had 4 leaves when I left for work today and now she's down to 2.

It makes me sad because I got her I'm early 2021 and she had been so healthy and good and not finicky at all. I did move 2 months ago so maybe she's had a hard time adjusting? She's mostly been under a grow light.

Is it time to say enough is enough and chop the trunks? I'm so scared to completely kill her.

  1. chop 6-8 inches from soil! you’ll both be happier

    also worth mentioning that you have multiple trees in one pot? not recommended esp for going forward. split them up!! more fiddle leafs!!

    she doesn’t look happy in any of the photos, i would imagine its been going downhill for a while

    i’d try some tropical soil and take care not to under or over water. give plenty of sunlight
    and when you do water, ensure it drains entirely out the bottom. a full flush out!
