    Thank you everyone! I think it's supposed to be a tall grower but good bloomer. Mine is a grafted single tip but looks like it's splitting into two tips....fingers crossed!

    Tunatony I got this one from Diem in socal who imports from Nui. I believe Petch gets this one too.

    Hi Rox! I don't know of an aka for that one so I'd keep it for now! It's supposed to be good on the coast but prone to black tip.

    Hi Loveplants2!


    I I found you on one of Al's amazing threads...


    I currently have a fiddle leaf I am losing to what I believe is Oedema. I foolishly thought if I potted up with his original soil and then a little bit sunshine potting mix I'd be good to go. But I should have known by how dense the mix was and how much it retained water with my herbs that this would be the beginning of the death of my beautiful fig.


    I am am thinking the best course of option for my fiddle at this point would be to give him a good flushing, check to see how much root rot there might be, and then to put him back in his pot with PROPER soil that he can enjoy for the next couple years, and fertilize too.

    i saw you have used the 5-1-1 and gritty mix for awhile... I'm wondering if you sell batches at all or anything like that? I want to make my own mix but I'm honestly terrible when it comes to percentages and the sifting part of things... If you don't sell it, would you happen to be able to walk me through exactly what you use to make your mix (I'm thinking 5-1-1 for my fiddle?) sifting tools and all, because Al is busy and I'd love to be able to do this as soon as possible (Friday am preferably) before I go out of town for the week, and because I know we are passing the ideal time for repotting...


    Sorry to to hijack this post, I just desperately need to get help from someone ASAP... I hate that more ugly brown spots are spreading to my beloved Sid :(

    Hi Makayla,

    I know that Al has been very busy with work and I'm sure Rob, Josh or someone over at " Houseplants " can help you with your Fiddle Leaf Fig. Issues and guide you with help needed on your mix.

    I'm out working on a Long trip and I will not be home until this weekend, so you might have better help over at the other forum!!

    Good luck!!

    Laura
