The fiddle leaf fig is one of the most beautiful statement houseplants to grow, with its iconic lobed foliage. But, it is considered dramatic and – at times – needy. And now we're in July, it demands some essential summer care to look brighter and fuller.
Growing a fiddle leaf fig is undoubtedly rewarding, but you need to get its care just right for it to stay happy. These figs are currently in a season of active growth, meaning they're using up lots of energy and appreciate a boost of fertilizer. It's also a great time to prune your fig to encourage a bushier shape – just make sure to have these Fiskars bypass pruning shears on Amazon to hand. And don't forget to check its leaves for any hiding pests that are thriving in this month's warmth.
