Monster Fiddle leaf fig

9 years ago

Dear Al and advisors,

here is my lovely lyrata soon after I got it about 3 years ago.

Then it grew. And grew. And the leaves somehow grew downwards. I have no idea why or even when. I just realized one day not long ago that it didn't look quite like all the others and someone pointed out that the leaves looked sad.

I also pruned it very indiscriminately every time it hit the roof or got too wide and it isn't very aesthetically pleasing, I'm told. Someone said it looks a bit like a monster. My husband wants me to get rid of it, that'll never happen but I would like to know how to prune it so I can get others to appreciate it as much as I do!

any suggestions?

And anyone knows why the lower leaves grew downwards?
