Fiddle fig journey

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Hello - I have a fiddle fig tree and have been on a journey! Long story short I bought Lilian in August 2016. She was severely overwatered in May 2017 while left in someone else’s care while I was on my honeymoon. She declined through the end of 2017. I finally cut her back to basically nothing and she started to grow back in August 2018. Was doing beautifully but I feel like I neglected her a bit after I had a bay. There hasnt been any new growth since spring of 2019 and now her leaves are yellowing and becoming a light green with dry edges. I recommitted myself to her in early October 2019 but can’t tell if she’s getting better or worse. I wasn’t watering or fertilizing enough after my baby; now I suspect maybe she got too dry as water just runs through her.

When I water I let it run through and tip out excess. She has not been repotted since i bought her - I’ve been told by two nurseries she doesn’t need to be. Please help!
