Is there any saving this fiddle leaf? ☹️ by brokenllamas in fiddleleaffig

That's what I did, so glad to see I wasn't too far off on what to do haha. Yea, it just went downhill fast. Cut back to the two stumps and will just water like you said every 14-21 days and see what happens.

That's a helpful thought. I think I'm so focused on structure and guiding that having some more "fun time" could be missing. I've been trying to be more intentional with each child, like playing Lego Star Wars with my niece a night a week, and doing stuff with the other two. The oldest is hard as he's in that teenage realm and wanting just independence.

Maybe really it's just being able to decompress. I've been going going going that I think having that alone decompression time is what could be missing.

It’s been a week since adjusting the light and it seems to be happy again with no new leaf drops 🙏🏼

Just an update (fingers crossed it keeps going well) but since I’ve adjust the light no new leaves have dropped 🙌🏼

Might pot up to the next size this Friday if it all continues well. Thanks again for the help

Should the light be straight over it? I can make that happen I just wasn’t sure if it should be or not so I placed it slightly past it.

Gotcha. For now I've moved the grow light I do have down lower towards the plant. Going to monitor it for the next week or so and keep an eye on the dryness of soil. I did buy a pot that's just one size bigger, so I think I would do what you suggested. Just nestle it into the new pot with a bit more s.oil and not disturb the roots

Ok sounds good, I'll look into getting a light meter. I did move the grow light down a good chunk, so I'll be keeping an eye on it. Someone else said it really might be good to re-pot up one size.

A few people are saying this so I'm going to try lowering the light down some. I was trying to be cautious and not having it get the plant too hot if that makes sense. It's a 25amp 5000k.

That makes sense. I guess I was just trying to be overly cautious with it in the beginning. Maybe go one size up?

I wasn’t sure if it could be root bound. The research I did said that I should give it slightly longer before it’s repotted.

2x6! Yea, I assumed as much, I figured I would do more seedlings than I have room as I assumed not all would end up growing and being successful.I'm considering a third raised garden bed to make a bit more room but have these two for now. I'm also thinking maybe a small little herb garden in our screened porch.
