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:
- 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)
- 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)
- 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!
