Is Neem Oil good for indoor fiddle leaf figs?

Hi Claire I like to extend my appreciation to your tutorial of how to propagate my newly acquired Fiddle leaf fig. Your guidance was seamless for me to comply . After cutting the top part of my plant n putting the cut portion into a transparent cup fill with liquid fertilizer. Within 12 days I noticed 3 white roots propping from the base of the stem. To add to my joy the top portion which I have cut begin to bear new stem n 4 baby leaves. Thanks so much for your tutorial. I try to enclose photo of my new baby leave. God bless Jeff Plant Panda from Punggol Spore❤

Good explanation of notching but she left out the most important key to having your notching work. You MUST cut off the Apical bud at the top of the stem that you are notching! This releases the Auxin hormone that stimulates the dormant buds down below! Without cutting the Apical bud off you have less chances of success! If you do it correctly you will see new growth within two weeks!

Where can i find it in europe?

Hi, What are the white flies in your thumbnail? I saw 2 of them in my fiddle leaf, how do I prevent them? Help! Thanks.

Makes sense! I put this plant I think it’s called the cheese plant, I know this isn’t the actual name but I spray it daily with water which needs humidity to thrive however, big mistake was putting this plant right next to the fiddle figs. Now they are all infested with these fungus gnats. Yuck.. so thank you for this tip! You’re really very knowledgeable about these plants and you have been correct on everything I have asked you about! So Thank you Clair! Ty Friend ❤❤❤

I just transplanted my fiddle leaf fig. I watered it really well put I don't see the water coming out the bottom . I put orchid bark at the bottom help

Hi Claire, Thanks for all your fantastic videos. I have had success propagating and notching. I notched a little deep into a horizontal branch and it has now splinted down the branch about 6mm, the branch is now leaning because of the weight of the leaves, I have staked it, so the branch doesn't completely break. Would I be best to cut the branch and propagate ? Ideally I would like to keep it as it would ruin the shape, however a branch dying with 11 healthy leaves would also be sad. I'm thinking that more growth would now put too much pressure on the weekend branch. Thanks so much for your advice.

Only leaves on the very ends

Help where do I top this off

Hi Claire. I had a problem with the fungus gnats and have sprayed insecticide. Removed dirt and it seems better but they are still there. I am watering once every 2 weeks. When I water, I do pour the water all around the top of the plant. Should I just pour it along the trunk and not do all the dirt? I water enough to allow it to drip thru the bottom. It is a big pot. It then has 2 weeks to dry out but obviously this has still allowed conditions for gnats.

Why the make huge leafs?

Hello. As a FF owner, your videos have been very helpful. Which video talks about removing white residue from leaves? Thx

We have a tree that is about 7 foot tall, how do you make it grow out branches? or is that a different type of fiddle fig? How tall will they get with a large pot, and pretty good light? Thanks

Hi Claire! Thanks for these wonderful tips. I recently got a fiddle leaf fig from IKEA, planted in clay soil which I thought was rather odd. The leaves were drooping today and I instantly knew it needed watering, but what I noticed was that the water comes right out, in the form of mud..and I am not sure if I should repot the plant into a well draining soil, and will this transformation kill it? Would love to know your thoughts! Thanks in advance

Dear Claire You have provided a very concise yet comprehensive narrative on pruning my fiddle fig leaf. Greatly appreciated. Will update when I have successfully prune my fiddle leaf fig. God bless Jeff

Can I use this for other plants, like birds of paradise?

I would love to see a video on probation parties! Sounds really fun! 🪴

Thanks for your views on misting the fiddle fig leaf. I have benefitted much from all your 6 invaluable tips. God Bless Jeff

Absolutely gorgeous patio! I live in South Florida and have a west facing patio - I bring my Fiddle Leaf Fig plants, new cuttings in water and most all of my other plants outside in the spring and leave them there during the summer. I have large shades I close in the hot afternoon/evening sun, and I have two large ceiling fans. I wanted to ask you is it a good idea to leave the fans on most of the time for air circulation? Thanks

Hi, I just bought a fiddle leaf fig on clearance. All the leaves from the middle section fell off and there’s lots of half brown leaves. First thing I’ve done is give it some water and food and just left it be. Not sure what else to do to bring it back. Please help 😊

how do you get the stems/ trunks to grow thicker to support the height better? does notching help that as well?

What? They want immense humidity but not water? How can i achieve that in a Paludarium?

My ficus has only about 12 healthy leaves left... I dont know why, it had bright light (yes also indirect from the sun) and doesn't get submerged in water in any way. Soon there will just be a morsel of sticks sticking out of the soil☹️

Absolutely true! Thank you, Claire.

Wonderful information ❤

Outstanding information as always. Thank you so much, Claire! I love my FLFs!

Can i do multiple notches on the same plant?

Hi dear my plants are in the ground and has the same problems what should I do

Hello Great Video. I recently propegated 3 new plants from my single Fiddleleaf tree. They are all surviving and thriving. They've grown about 1 ft (its been maybe a little more than 3months). I used your propegation promoter and seems to work really well! 3 out of 4 cuttings made it. My question is at what point should I try to notch the new ones? They are growing straight up and I'd like to have a multi branch look to them. thanks hope you see this.

send me some drops claire! im broke LOL. i have 3 fiddles i found in the trash and i have watched many of your videos to help bring them back to life. All are about 6 ft tall, i just cant afford all the other bells and whistles so my figs get rain water and all my attention lol

thank you! i'm having the issue where the new leaves are unfurling with with holes because of sticking. It's only on the branch that faces (is liking to grow towards) the west facing window, and only during the few weeks where we actually use our air conditioner when the normally temperate coastal climate shifts into fire season. (Ventura County). I'll put a little mister by this grouping of plants, and I'll mist the new buds. And rotate the plant more often so different branches get to share the joy and intensity of the sun at that window.

I have a few sunburned leaves, when I remove the leaves does it have the same effect as notching?

In order to activate those dormant buds where you have notched, you need to to cut off the Apical bud at end of stem. It will send the growth hormone, Auxin down the stem that will stimulate the dormant buds where you just notched. Without cutting the Apical bud this is why notching is normally 50% ineffective. I recently brought back to life my granddaughter dead looking FLF. The stems were completely bare. I clipped the Apical bud and notched down the stems. Within two weeks it had gotten new growth.
