Hello All,

I have been 'stalking' the forum for a while in an attempt to solve my questions about my Fiddle Leaf Fig.

I've decided it may be best to post myself, so to garner specific advice.

I purchased the Fig approx 2 years ago (Apr 2012) as a 60cm bush. In an attempt to encourage the more 'tree like' features, I removed some of the lower leaves.

The Fig has been very healthy the whole time, in a plastic (well drained) 20cm pot which drains into a larger porcelain pot.

After almost 2 years, the Fig has only grown another 5-10cm. I read about re-potting, notching and removing the top growth as ways to encourage growth. As I've only had a healthy plant, I don't want to haphazardly attempt any of these options without a second opinion.

Any ideas about what I can do to encourage growth both upwards and outwards (it would be great to have more than just the one branch!), I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,

Amy
