Fiddle leaf figs love bright, indirect light and need a ton to survive and thrive! If your plant is currently in a corner, take action now and move it in front of your brightest window.
Fiddle leaf fig leaves are like mini solar panels. They need access to the light to perform photosynthesis in order to thrive and support new branches and leaves. Learn more about where you need to place your plant inside your home for the best access to the light.

Mines on the south facing back porch in the shade. It’s v happy in this texas heat!
You should see the new growth on my Fiddle. I’m so proud 💜
Penny that is wonderful! Please join and post a picture inside our community! fiddleleaffigplant.com/community
This was SO helpful! I have a beautiful fiddle that has been loving life for about 3 years in it’s south facing corner. It has totally outgrown that spot, and the only option now is in front of a huge north facing window. While this window is north facing, it lets in an enormous amount of light but I have still been really worried about my fiddle. After watching this, I think it may actually do ok there. Here’s hoping!! Thanks for the info!
You are so welcome!
My fiddles grows so much. Actually this video help me because l will move them to a shade area. Yesterday l pinch the branches to stop the growing or at least slow it down.
Thank you for this! As someone who’s actually allowed a snake plant to die on my watch, I need this! I’m a new fiddle parent and am determined to keep it alive and thriving. I’ve been using a grow light and find it really harsh, so I’m happy to learn from you that I don’t really need it. Yay! My plant is just to the left of a NW facing window, not directly in front of it. Light meter indicates it’s getting an average of about 1500 lumens here in early June. That should actually increase as the sun angles further north. Oh, and my fiddle baby thanks you as well!
That is great!! I do recommend moving the plant so it is directly in front of a window. Even when they are moved to the side or back from the window even by 1 foot, it is not enough light for them to thrive. If direct sunlight is coming in, use a sheer curtain to make it indirect so the leaves do not get burnt. Good luck and you are welcome to join our helpful fiddle leaf fig community! See you there! fiddleleaffigplant.com/community
@@FiddleLeafFigPlant Oh no! I’ll have to figure out a furniture situation to get it in front of the window so I’ll have to stick with the grow light for now. Thanks for setting me straight!
So informative! Thank you for the tip and product suggesrions.
Awesome channel! I've wanted a fig for years, this info is so helpful! I''m buying a light meter as I want to put the fig in a corner with windows close to the corner, southwest & northwest, with light filtering shades. I have a tiny house with vaulted ceilings so a fig is perfect for the living room as I need a tall tree. I'll buy whatever window shades work the best for the tree. Will post a pic after I figure this out!
Great! Remember that these plants need to be sitting directly in front of and up against your brightest window. In a corner there most likely isn't enough light for them to survive.

I have no luck of sunlight in my apartment but I love fiddle leaf fig. I just bought a grow light maybe it works.
Sounds like a grow light would be a great thing to try!
I brought mine home in feb in norway (artic winter) ..... aaand repotted it when I him it home, so im scared for him! I ordered a growlight for him and put him next to my huge balcony window (I will not use that door to not upset my fiddle) wish me luck even if I made mistakes xD
These plants are very resilient!
Oh I hope so cuz hes sooo pretty! I named him Finn :D@@FiddleLeafFigPlant
I use grow lights. Working perfectly ❤
That is awesome!
What wattage or lumen or whatever they call the light measures are you using?
Mine is on SW window plus grow light cause it still feels dark for me!
Mine is on SW facing window.
This was so helpful, Claire! Mr. Figgy is currently at my son's apartment while my husband and I build our barndominium. Now I know exactly where to put him (and all my plants) when we move in. Thanks for so much information. 🤩🪴🪴
Glad it was helpful! Happy Growing!
Im new proud owner of a 2nd handhand fiddle fig, i found on the neighbors lawn, unfortunately its leaves drop off very easy when lightly brushed up against.
What can cause this ?
It may be underwatered if it was left without water for a long time. I would place it directly in front of and up against your brightest window and thoroughly water the plant so it drains well out the bottom drainage holes. Then wait to water again when the top inches of soil are dry. It will bounce back!
I have a grow light with three different lights (white, blue and red). Which light settings should I use?
White grow lights are best for fiddle leaf figs. amzn.to/3nWyi9k is our favorite inexpensive grow light to use!
I have a beautiful 7 foot fiddle fig, Fredericka is her name. Right now she budding. I wanted to repot her, she has a long root growing out of the bottom watering hole. Should I wait until the leaves are completely out or can I repot now. thank you Claire.
Hi Eva, it sounds like your plant may be ready for the next size but if it is happy and growing I would wait. Wait until the roots are wrapping around the inner edge of the pot, that is a great time to go up to the next size. Happy Growing!
I’ve always wanted a fiddle leaf fig tree but I worry about lighting. I only have north facing windows. I may try a very strong grow light or maybe just a realistic fake fiddle leaf fig tree?
Erica, I wholeheartedly believe if you have a spot in your home that will not support a fiddle leaf fig, but you would like to add some greenery, a faux plant is the way to go! I even have a video about this topic! th-cam.com/video/ZADq731rQ_k/w-d-xo.html
A strong grow light may work for you, give it a try!
@@FiddleLeafFigPlant thanks! I’ll check out the video link
This question doesn't really belong here but I have propigated a cutting, it grew roots and I've put in soil. I put in a pot with soil 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for it to grow a bud. How long does this usually take? I've given it 20,20.20 every week or other week
It can sometimes take a little while. The first month or so the plant will be focused on establishing the root system in the soil of the new pot. Then given enough light and nutrition you will see growth happen soon after. Wait another month and I am sure you will see growth!
@@FiddleLeafFigPlant Thanks
I have a southeast facing window based on the compass app on my iPhone. I just got a fiddle leaf fig and got a plant stand but it’s slightly to short at the base Of the window seal. Is that fine? I live in a tiny apt
It might be ok as close to the window as possible. But, you might want to see if you can raise it up to the same height as the window.
@@FiddleLeafFigPlant thanks I just raised it up with a table plus plant stand so now leaves get sun. Then when it get taller I won’t need the table l your channel is very helpful. This is my first plant plant I had two mini succulents before
Double height SW facing windows in Northern California. Good indirect morning light (when not foggy) but the shades need to come down in the summer afternoons or the condo will overheat. Will a fiddle leaf do well in this scenario?
Yes! That sounds like a great spot. Just make sure it is sitting directly in front of and up against the window. Even when they are pulled back 1 foot or more it is not enough light for it to survive. If you find the summer direct rays hit the leaves, a sheer curtain can help turn that direct light to indirect light. Happy Growing!
