Fiddle Fig Tree Drooping Leaves

11 years ago

Hi,

My fig tree has some drooping leaves as shown in the photo. Is this over-watering or under-watering? The moisture meter said it was dry so I added some water 2 days ago and that hasn't helped. And I don't want to keep watering it in case I'm over-watering it already.

Thanks for any help!

Pick up the container, if it is heavy then you are overwatering, if it is lite then the water you gave it was not enough. If it is very lite then soak it for an hour and then let it drain.

It "seems" light (based on my inexperienced judgement LOL), but the soil doesn't look that dry :-(. I'm going to give it some more water and hope this will do it. Fingers crossed.
