    Lost all the leaves from my FLF and was going to trash it! Glad I didn’t, leaves are growing from the bottom and they are healthy.

    I bought one small (not bambino though) last September. The roots where really small.
    When I researched online i realised that my country, Iceland, is maybe not the best place for this plant but I put it in my brightest window (under a radiator).
    In the beginning of January it started to grow a new leaf!! I was so surprised 😃
    No grow light (and we are talking about only 3-5 hours a daylight in December. )
    The new leaf is standing upright and growing and my ficus is just perfect even though there is almost no sun at this time of year
    I’m really proud and can’t wait for the summer!!

    Great video! I think I have a Bambino, it's a happy plant and growing beautifully, but it has smaller leaves. I thought it was not a happy guy but it is growing so I left it where it is and now I know it's not going to be a giant.

    I had a 1ft tall bambino that left outside under the rain and sun (more than 30c here), I fed it with sheep manure but it was mostly ignored. It grew into 4 feet tall and branched 4 new stems at once! I was ecstatic, I repotted it in a big pot and moved its location. Then it died! If I had watched your video earlier, I’d have saved my bambino 😭. Great detailed content!

    • @amberfrazier575
      @amberfrazier575 Před 6 měsíci +1

      People say the bambinos grow slower than the regular fiddle figs with my regular fiddle fig has grown maybe an inch in the last year and my Bambino that I’ve only had for a month has grown 4 inches in one month . So maybe I just got one with good genetics. But it’s growing like a weed!! Sorry about your bambino. Pinch the bud off at the beginning of spring and you should get about 3 new ones each time. Then you don’t have to prune and lose height.

    Non-Swedish weather checking in here. I have one growing in my yard, under another, much larger tree. I've never done anything for it for as long as I've lived here, and it seems happy enough. Although, being outdoors in a windy city, its leaves have a few holes and other signs of damage here and there.

    Thank you for your masterclass presentation. Extremely informative and I think I will have to watch this twice just to take it all in. I just got a ficus lyrata about two days ago for my birthday while I am thrilled but I also do not have any experience in taking care of it. Your presentation is extremely helpful. It appears to be very sensitive and one has to take the time to find the right balance on every front to keep the plant happy and thriving. Maybe we should rename it to be Fickle Fiddle :D

      @Potty Mouthed Planter darn! I don't eat bananas 😒 I used to, but their high sugar content is a turn-off for me,
      so, I stopped buying them.
      They are high in phosphorous -supposedly good for us to eat for that reason - and I wonder if maybe the phosphorous is one reason the Fig leaves like the banana peel, as well.
      I'm thinking I may get a few really over-ripe ones to use for wiping the peel on my Fig tree leaves (about once a month) and I now have 2 of them 😅.
      Glad I watched this...I'm new to the Fig tree community, and was just about ready to spring for some of that figleaf shine spray😒 - now I know better👍

It’s relatively healthy but not in prime appearance. I’ve recently pruned it for the first time (how brave) and patiently waiting for some even wilder branches! Thanks!

    I didn't even know there is the Bambino variety. It turns out I have the Bambino fiddle leaf fig, thank you so much, the video is great!! I also heard that it gets new leaves rarely so when I got mine sometime in August I didn't even hoped I'd get new leaves, and then at the end of October (Croatian weather, it was not too hot nor too cold) it got literally 4 new leaves in like 10 days. I just changed its position and actually moved it in a slightly colder room of the house but on the south window and that happened. I had to share this because I couldn't believe it and was hoping to hear your thoughts about that. Thank you for the video once more! I would love to hear your tips about the Ficus elastica :)

    Love ur video. Ficus Lyrata is one of the first batch plants I got, in my case it glow well close to southwest window( 4hours sunshine after noon) without applying fertilizer.I didn't even move it in hot summer when it's 38-40 degree, it might leave a little dark dot in leaf but almost ignorable. This plant is not fragile and I feel it's quite adaptable to environment, I had my air condition on in summer and winter, and sometimes I forgot to water. I did notice the bottom leaves got brown a bit in winter, but overall it's healthy. It only stop glowing when the pot is too small for it.So do remember to change pot, it grows fast.

    @heyitsclay Před 4 lety +4

    I had a fiddle leaf about thirty years ago and I gave it away. Just bought another one with two shoots about five feet tall for about 49.99. I saw the local grocery store has the bambino ones about a foot tall for 9.99. I waited a couple of weeks before I watered it. I prefer taking my plants outside and watering the leaves with a hose. I have a tray with wheels so I can move the plant outside for its waterings. Since I live in Scottsdale, the house gets cooler than the plant would like, however, I do spray the plant with water each day and wipe the dust off the leaves at least once per week. So far so good after about five weeks. When I repot, I like to use clay pots so the water wicks out of the plant quicker. I might try the banana trick on one of the lower leaves. There was slight browning on a couple of the lower leaves when I bought the plant. Hard to tell with these plants if they are happy or not. Thanks for the tips guys.

    • @norelysrivas8402
      @norelysrivas8402 Před 4 lety

      So spraying the plant with water every day would help the plant with the lack of humidity in the house? I bought mine yesterday and even though the video is very informative I feel so scared. This is my first time taking of this plant as I can see it is very sensitive and delicate. I have this tip to get very shining leaves. I take the egg white and a cotton ball and rub it the leaves and you get a beautiful shine leaves. And I did it yesterday after buying the ficus Lyrata plant. Please let me know if the spray with water is ok because I don’t have a good place for it and the humidity is low inside the house. Thanks

    These videos are so amazing and informative, you're a lifesaver for my plants!
    All my windows are over radiators so I've been putting a wet towel over the radiator to raise the humidity, and the radiator is never on full "blast". So far I haven't had a problem with that.
    I would love a video about the ficus elastica! Mine looks great, it's growing a lot on top but the bottom leaves are turning yellow and falling off and I have no idea what to do about it, please help :)

      You can put a marble off cut over the radiator and it will help deflect and absorb the heat and you can put stuff on top of it. You can also buy radiator humidifiers that hook on to the radiator and you fill with water they are made of made of ceramic.

    I totally agree about placing it away from the dry hot air from the radiator or furnace is circulating. This really makes a lot of difference. I had to move my furniture around to find the perfect spot for my Ficus Lyrata. Also, what I love about Europeans is that they always have a natural solution for everything.
