Howdy! I couldn't pass up picking up this fiddle leaf fig from my local Costco. It's quite different than the first one (which I think I fully understand how to take care of now thanks to the sub's help) leading to a few questions:

  1. The trunk is already quite thick and I can see where it was chopped in the past. How does this factor into when and where I should chop it in the future? (pic 2)
  2. Also regarding trunk thickness, the plant looks a lot more mature than my first, with many roots Exposed on top. Does this indicate I should repot it sooner? Or just add some soil and wait a bit? (Pic 1, 2)
  3. And finally, it looks like the two biggest branches on the sides were tied up so the plant gives the appearance that it's growing upwards. Is this hurting it? Should I cut the ties to allow it to grow horizontally? I would actually prefer a more vertical plant but as long as it doesn't grow too wide it should be okay. (pic 3)

Thanks for any advice!
