Wear headphones! Please, don't let the "loud music" keep you from watching this video. So.much.information you don't want to miss. Wearing headphones helped me hearing his voice abundantly better than when I tried to watch on my computer. Thank you so much for the great advice! 🧡
Awesome tips. I kept moving mine. I freaked out like you knew. Lolol. Also the explanation of different colors of browns and reds and their location was amazing. Best comprehensive video I've seen (of many). I'm a fan!!!
SAMMMEEEEE. I saw my mother in laws struggle with hers.. it died. So I was inspired to see if I could take on the challenge ...plus it was cheaper . Lol wish me luck
This is absolutely the most informative video I have seen on the subject. No one else has discussed the red spots and the causes, no one else has explained what the colors of the marks on your leaves mean in terms of watering or sun. Absolutely excellent video except the music is entirely too loud. I know sometimes we want to be hip and treat our audiences to music, but your information was much more important than the background music. Please do a discussion on the Monstera and the palms that I see you have growing. You have an excellent knowledge base.
This was AMAZING! Not only did I learn so much about my beautiful fiddle, Hank, (specifically the edema) but your jungle gave me serious interior inspo ❤️ 🌱
Be very careful when misting leaves and don't do it too heavily. The reduced airflow indoors can cause leaves to stay wet for too long and promote fungus or rot. Make sure there's good airflow or set a fan to run for a couple minutes. As long as the leaves dry out within an hour, you should be fine.
I'm on my third fiddle leaf fig plant and have had this one for about two years with zero leaf growth. I panicked previously when I tried repotting it and several of the leaves went yellow and dropped off. After watching this video last week I felt courageous enough to try repotting it again and watered it thoroughly and gave it some fertilizer - now after only a few days it's growing a new leaf! Thanks for this amazing video and helping me finally understand this plant!!
Excellent video! I truly enjoyed it.. you have a gorgeous very enchanting plat corner!!! I loved it, inspired me to create something like that..I have two giant Fiddle Figs, Mama Margaret Robinson 😄 (25 years old) and daughter Lucy Robinson, that I propagated from 1 leave from her mother (10years old now). Now I'm propagating more daughters. Whish I can share pictures! I need to report them now, and I'm considering building a self watering system pot for self irrrigation. What do you think?
I would have watched this video to full. But the background noise/music is too much annoying. It's even louder than your voice. Did you notice?😐pls upload it again without music.
@@marthelenada6197 I think it’s better to get from a local business than at a huge distributor. I just happened to be at Costco and saw the frenzy. So it was an impulse buy. But I don’t regret it. Haha
@@DashofTing I buy all my annuals at Costco. Indoor plants, wherever I see them. I’m from Mexico, that means I’m used to seeing that type of plants outdoors but I’m Canadian as well, so, I am collecting some plants to enjoy even more the white cold winter. Cheers.
Though I do agree with others about the background music being high, I loved learning about fiddle leaf with you!!! Your voice is so soothing and engaging. Thank you so much! :)
mine is outside in the shade. I live where it gets 104 degrees in the summer and 45 degrees in winter or lower. In the winter I put it in a frost prevention bag. It is about 7-8 ft tall and has many branches. I am now having a difficult time propagating this plant. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I use just the leaf in water, changing water daily, I also have to stems in water but nothing on any thing I do.
I have three cuttings from a huge figgy that I’m water propping. They started off great, but now they seem stuck in the “popcorn” stage with white bumps on the stems but no roots. It’s been 5+ weeks. Leaves are still green and strong, but I’m wondering if I should move them to soil or just keep waiting for roots. Any thoughts? BTW, thanks for your great content!
Thank you for this! People kept saying not to over water my fiddle fig plant, so I stopped watering her, but the brown spots kept forming. After watching your video, I started water her more often and now new leaves are sprouting! Super helpful. :)
I’m so glad I found this page. I have 3 fiddle plants. One totally lost all of its leaves. I did everything wrong with this one but I repotted it and I’m trying to nurse it back. The other two I just got. I’m terrified because I don’t want to kill them. However this video has helped me to understand better. I’m trying my best to be a good plant mommy.
Thank you for ACTUALLY showing the notching!! I have watched other videos and they only tell you how and I know it seems self explanatory but I was always afraid to hurt my baby. Thanks!
Such a nurturing attitude behind this video!!! It inspired me to keep my fiddle nice and happy and I’m excited to say my plant has been a part of my life for many months now. Thank you for making this!
I've always been told that fiddles are super temperamental but mine has always been super agreeable. I've had it since December and have 6 new leaves and active growing buds making more leaves. No dropped leaves either. Idk maybe watching videos like this helped me avoid that initial struggle. Thanks for your tips!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I have 3 Fiddle leaf figs and one is over 30 years old! You gave great info, especially on watering, and encouraging New branches!!!! Thank you!
Nice video! I love my fiddle! I remember when I tried to knotch and I went to deep and the stems broke off I was so sad but within 1 months 2 new stems emerged and im so happy!
OMG!!! THANK YOU!! Finally someone that really talks about the plant and not a product they are trying to sell!! You are the best! For real thank you becasue I just got my Fiddle Fig and the bottom leaf started to get the dark spots (just noticed last night) and I was already going crazy and was going to change her to another spot at home but thanks to you I know that’s normal so I’ll keep an eye on her the next 2 days and for sure watch more of your videos ❤
OMG! I have had my FLF tree for a year and up until a month ago it only grew one leaf. THEN I put my coffee grounds in the soil and I have had a solid growth of 4 new leaves. FOUR! Thanks for the video now I can make it grow even more.
Thank you so much for this post! I have been scouring the net for this same information! I just put a kcup in there two days ago. The video said the brown spots disappeared after they put the kcup in the soil. I also have a banana plant that’s leaves are turning brown I put the kcup in that as well.. good luck on yours too. I hope my Chloe makes it, she looks happier!
Thank you for your love of plants and for the information. Please check the volume of the music under your speaking voice. Music is loud and your voice is not heard properly. Thank you
2 yrs late.. but this one of the best videos I have EVER seen. On any subject. I'm a new Fiddle Fig plant dad. I'm trying my best to learn all the nuances of care. Your video was VERY informative.. AND the music wasn't as loud as folks claim. The music and tutorial had great symmetry. 🙏🏽
My husband who knows nothing at all about plants tried to be nice and surprise me with one of these. He didn't know what it was but he thought it looked cool. I could immediately tell something was wrong with it so I whisked it outside and depotted it. The soil was chock full of tiny little white spiders and the leaves had tons of edema. I blasted every grain of soil off with the hose, power-washed the leaves, wiped each one top and bottom with Neem oil, and put in some fresh sterile soil. I just knew it wasn't going to make it. Three months later it's thriving and I've grown to love it so much. I would never have picked it myself but you're right about their character. It's become one of my favorites now and I look forward to propagating it when it grows a bit taller so I can have more than one.
Question: I bought a fiddle leaf fig in a 22 inch pot online but there is actually two of them in the one pot, could I separate them? If so, should I put them in smaller pots?
Awesome video, thanks for great advices. I am reading some comments below about high volume of the background music. I hear the voice more than the music and all sounds perfect to me. Blessings for everyone. ❤️
Thanks for all the tips on this plant. I have one that I’m trying to save!😩 Do you cut any browning or spotted leaves completely or just cut away/off the damaged areas of the leaf? Do you have a video pertaining to your home/house plant fertilizer? If so, please share the link. Thanks again for such an informative video. I’m a new subscriber and plan to binge watch your previous videos throughout the next few months. For the record, you don’t need any music other than maybe a brief intro/outro. You provide a great deal of detailed content. Your viewers are listening closely and probably taking notes, especially if you are providing plant care tips. The music becomes distracting after a few seconds, no matter the volume. Just adding my two cents, respectfully, as a new subscriber. Thanks again!
Definately need to lower the background music. Was really looking forward to seeing what you had to say but only got a few seconds into the video, cuz the music wss too loud over your voice
Do not place it in direct sunlight: BIG MYTH! One of mine is in placed in my room where she gets full direct sunlight for about 6am-12noon everyday and she is growing sprouts..she is so happy...my other flf placed in another location in my house getting only bright indirect light hasnt given me any sprout at all for months..
The background music is SOOOOOO loud! I can barely hear anything you’re saying
Music in background is so annoying, struggled to hear him
Yeah...its annoying....I initially thought my phone has some issues...arg
just wanted to say the same thing
If you are trying to teach us something , please turn down that annoying music !!
It’s not that bad, concentrate a bit harder. Fuck me
My plant secretly put this video in my recommendations 🙌🏿
Thank you for the good info!
Hilton, I love the images and your advice. I think it would be great to edit the music out. It was very distracting.
Or at least quieter music
I was gonna say the same thing!
Andrea Anderson, PhD loved the music, edit was great! ✌🏾
Sometimes its an editing issue. It probably sounded ok on his end before uploading it
Agreeee
Background music is too high. Either that or you aren't mic'ed loud enough. Just letting you know
“I love how unique they all are... that’s why I have five-“ that’s too accurate 😂
I'm the same way but with cacti lol I love cacti so I have 3
Music is horrible can’t hear you buddy !
Wear headphones! Please, don't let the "loud music" keep you from watching this video. So.much.information you don't want to miss. Wearing headphones helped me hearing his voice abundantly better than when I tried to watch on my computer. Thank you so much for the great advice! 🧡
You were so right...once Can you get past the first minute or so the music gets better and more tolerable.
I can’t !
Running to get my headphones
It will burst my headphones at that volume
I hear very well
Awesome tips. I kept moving mine. I freaked out like you knew. Lolol. Also the explanation of different colors of browns and reds and their location was amazing. Best comprehensive video I've seen (of many). I'm a fan!!!
Music is a little loud. I could barely hear you. TFS, I have 3 fiddles. ❤️❤️❤️
Agreed..........the music is rather annoying.
This was the most comprehensive plant care video I have seen EVER!! Nicely done 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
what? cant hear anything
Thank you!! My fiddle leaf fig lost all but one leaf when I first bought him and with your guidance he's now a proud owner of 8 leaves and thriving!
Just bought one off death row at Lowe’s today.. I hope mine grows as beautifully as yours❤️
Same here... Good luck!
SAMMMEEEEE. I saw my mother in laws struggle with hers.. it died. So I was inspired to see if I could take on the challenge ...plus it was cheaper . Lol wish me luck
I just did the same thing, I hope it makes it.
I did this...and still not thriving. I think root rot:(
Keep your receipt---mine passed away three months in.
Music was nice ..... by the way what was you saying?

Bruh, the image of the plants in the mirror at 12:13 is such a beautiful, surreal sight. ~Respect
The music is fine!!! Loved your info it really came in handy for my plant been guessing
This was AMAZING! Not only did I learn so much about my beautiful fiddle, Hank, (specifically the edema) but your jungle gave me serious interior inspo ❤️ 🌱
how is Hank doing
Be very careful when misting leaves and don't do it too heavily. The reduced airflow indoors can cause leaves to stay wet for too long and promote fungus or rot. Make sure there's good airflow or set a fan to run for a couple minutes. As long as the leaves dry out within an hour, you should be fine.
Must you have that background music playing? Sorry but it's so incredibly annoying I can't watch these videos anymore.
Really, if you don't want your fiddle to fall over you want to thicken the trunk by shaking the plant like wind would in nature
I agree! I do that to mine!
thanks, will try this!!!
I’ve heard this for the second time now. When should you start doing this if the fiddle is a youngin?
Yes! My wife hates it lol she thinks it's inhumane
AHHHHHH I HAVE BEEN MOVING IT OUTSIDE EVERY DAY! OMG
MY POOR FRANK JUNIOR
hahaha, I did too. Don't worry. Just change it now, it'll be oK. (🙏)

I just bought this plant from Costco. She is 6ft tall and only cost $28USD. It was such a bargain!
Wow! You are lucky!
@@marthelenada6197 And she's still alive and still looking beautiful. So I'm def lucky! Check out Costco.
I bought mine one month ago in a garden store. Half the height, double the price but is was a gift card :) it is loving the place I chose for it.

Cut the music
Your plants are in love with you!
I had live plants, but my next domicile, will get fake plants. Can't deal with large plants anymore.
Aside from being very informative! it was so chill. It has put me in the best mood ever! Thanks for all of your advise! I am definitely subscribed!
Why the loud music??

Wish I found this video last week before I killed mine 😭😭😔😔😔😔😔 RIP liddle fiddle
This is so awesome, I learned so much, thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching?
??
Are you thanking yourself for watching lol
Haha
I have to subscribe to your channel because I'm feeling weird following girls channel when a man like me obsessed with plant..😆
Ooh, I'm totally going to try that last tip about notching! I have a fiddle leaf totally thriving in it's South and West exposure.
thank you, I brought her home on sunday,,you gave me the best info, on her growth 🌱
Thank you for ACTUALLY showing the notching!! I have watched other videos and they only tell you how and I know it seems self explanatory but I was always afraid to hurt my baby. Thanks!
Oh and I could hear the sound okay!! :-) Please do more and more plant vids!!
Such a nurturing attitude behind this video!!! It inspired me to keep my fiddle nice and happy and I’m excited to say my plant has been a part of my life for many months now. Thank you for making this!
Answer to my prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽I just bought two . Thank you for the knowledge 💕💕
I did not pass 2 minutes into the video because i can barely hear you over the music
This was an excellent video, I can't believe I learnt so much in so little time!
I have a bambino that's loving life but I will wait to try knotching? It's about 2.5ft tall. Thanks for all you tips.
Hi
I just bought one today and my husband said right away, 'we gotta name this guy'😉
Skip that background music bad really bad
Loved the information. Music is too loud or Hilton needs to speak louder. Very distracting
I've always been told that fiddles are super temperamental but mine has always been super agreeable. I've had it since December and have 6 new leaves and active growing buds making more leaves. No dropped leaves either. Idk maybe watching videos like this helped me avoid that initial struggle. Thanks for your tips!
Your plants are absolutely "beautiful."
Also how long do you wait to re-pot after you bring your tree home?
Music is loud, voice is low. Can't hear a thing.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I have 3 Fiddle leaf figs and one is over 30 years old! You gave great info, especially on watering, and encouraging New branches!!!! Thank you!
I really wanted to watch this but the music is so loud I cannot hear you.
The audio improves after the intro -- totally worth the wait
Can barely hear you.
Background music is very distracting

I will have to try this!!

What a great video, I was able to hear fine. Loved the tips and can't wait to try the notching method with my flf! :)
Music is so loud

I have no idea what you said....
Hi! I’m new hear I just stumbled somehow an found your channel I’m happy about this though. Thanks for the great info.

Jon Q Yes. You can separate them if you wish. And yes, smaller pot since 2 trees are no longer occupying the same pot 🌱💚🌿

I heard him fine although the music is loud. I’ve killed two figs so I’m taking a break for a while 😢
Ariyal sirrah oh no! I just purchased my first. What do you think went wrong?
For god sake turn offffff that music, your speech is more than enough.

Do not place it in direct sunlight: BIG MYTH!
One of mine is in placed in my room where she gets full direct sunlight for about 6am-12noon everyday and she is growing sprouts..she is so happy...my other flf placed in another location in my house getting only bright indirect light hasnt given me any sprout at all for months..
I did not have issues with the sound or the music, great video and advice!!
Yes!!! I love that you name your plants!!!!! I just got my first plant last month, now I have 5!! (3 are succulents) but I want a fiddle leaf next!!
the closed captions trying to translate 'fiddle leaf fig' is what really did it for me
