We got our Fiddle Leaf Fig (lovingly known as Figgy Pop in our house) almost a year ago, and she has killed it at plant life. She was the smallest FLF I had ever seen for sale, and remains still the smallest I've come across. (Trust me, I look often.)
{To give you plant hunters a reference, many small-end figgy's run about $25. She was only $16! Even the store owner of The Garden Company, my favorite garden store in Santa Cruz, said he had never seen one that small. Obviously I had to snag her.}
We've pretty much kept her in the same spot the entire time we've had her (minus a month when we had our Christmas tree), so I think it's safe to say she's got her home. She's almost a year old (with us) now, and she is flourishing. She seems to love the bright light through our sheer curtains, so we're keeping her there.
{Note: Today is a dreary day, but the indirect light is still bright enough for her. We're having a nice cool end to summer, but she doesn't seem to mind. She popped out a couple new leaves in the past couple of weeks.}
I love plants and farming, and think I've actually got quite a knack for it. (It's in my blood - my grandpa on my mom's side was a farmer.) I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but this is a way to me to post my pictures and brag on my plants and crops.
Happy Planting!
