I’ve had this bad boy about 6 months. He was already huge when I bought him but you can see some insane leaf growth happening where he is branching at the top. He’s been super happy being indoors under a grow light for the winter, but I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants when it comes to watering.
I typically water when the pot is halfway dry, which is about once a month. However, I’ve seen lots of differing guidance on FLFs ranging from allow them to fully dry and then immediately water, or water when the top 2 inches are dry. I’m so paranoid about under-or over-watering this plant in his enormous pot and would love to hear when you water if you have a similar sized plant and more care experience than I do. Thank you!

I normally water mine when the bottom leaves start to get erectile dysfunction. After one afternoon by the window sunlight, they get super hard and happy again
