Hi,
I purchased a fiddle fig about 6 months ago. The tree was pretty mature when purchased. Since it was brought home, I have lost a good number of leaves. Mainly from the bottom. I believe it might be due to my watering routine. Sometimes shortly after I water Frank, a leave will start turning yellow, and then it will drop. I have been trying to figure out a good watering routine. As of now, I water the plant once every 3 weeks or so, and I water until water comes out the bottom of the planter. I was pretty sure the tree was dying a slow death, but around 2 months ago, 2 new leaves sprouted. I was happy. Since then, we lost more leaves and again, I thought Frank was dying. 2 days ago, I found a new leaf sprouting where the other 2 came from. That being said, I am confused. Is Frank dying, or is Frank somewhat happy? I continue to lose some leaves, but then new leaves appear. How can I help Frank regrow many of the lost leaves? Some of the branches are looking pretty bare. I am new to taking care of plants, but open to doing whatever it takes. I attached a bunch of pics.
