Hi all, I need some advice. Backstory, I have just recently in the last few months gotten into houseplants and learning how to take care of them.
This fiddle leaf came with the house we bought 3 years ago and was already very big. I am super intimidated by this plant, and I have done absolutely nothing to it besides water it occasionally for the past 3 years.
What can I do to help this girl out? I only have one window in my living room, the one in the last photo. She is definitely leaning a lot and bald in some places, should I move her right up against the window? Do I chop some pieces? Is she healthy/not healthy? I feel like she’s been neglected for 3 years and honestly don’t know if I should be doing something different or what I need to be doing to give her the best care. Or just keep ignoring her 😩 please help me I’m trying to learn

She’s gorgeous. Are you fertilizing? That will be important as I’m not even sure where you’d start trying to repot this. You could prune it, maybe some of the longer/more bare branches towards the top to help the rest fill out/become more bushy
I feel like you need to be giving me advice lol. It’s so beautiful! Is it supporting itself? Mine is like 1/3 this size and I have had to prune it back a few times because it leans instead of growing up like yours even with a little support. (But on plus side I have babies around the house and free housewarming gifts.)
My advice is give her to me lol
Your place looks so nice and cozy! Your baby looks good too!
Um I need advice from you!!! Sometimes they just like to be left alone
