Phinneas' newest new leaf has significantly less red spotting, which (I think) means my care is improving in regards to water. I'm so happy for him! #phinneas-the-ficus #ficuslyrata #fiddleleaffig #flf #newgrowth #newleaf #oedema #houseplant

Phinneas the Ficus has his first new leaf since I got him! I heard that the red spots are from incongruent or inconsistent watering. I didn't know I was being problematic, Phinneas! I'll do better! 😢 Love you, buddy. #flf #ficuslyrata #fiddleleaffig #newgrowth #newleaf #phinneas-the-ficus
I have water globes in mine. But some of my leaves have red spot on them too. What do you have yours potted in? @savannahssucculentgarden 🤔
@alysha Mine is still in a plastic nursery pot. I feel like I water evenly, so maybe I need to water more often?

Thought I'd give a quick update on my fall victim. It looks like he won't be dropping any leaves after his accident! So proud of my Phinneas. #ficuslyrata #fiddleleaffig #flf #ficusfriday #ficus #update #phinneas-the-ficus #houseplant
Glad he made it! He looks good!

Phinneas, noooo!! #oops #fallenplant #accident #ficus-lyrata #fiddle-leaf-fig #phinneas-the-ficus #fell
Oh Phinneas! Stay on your feet buddy!!
I set him on a folded towel..it was uneven ground...it's all my fault! Phinneas forgive me for I have sinned. 😢 Luckily he does not have any visible damage, but his roots were definitely shaken up. I hope he doesn't throw a fit and drop leaves later. 🍃
If he starts not doing well, maybe an emergency repot? Don't beat yourself up about it. You treat Phinneas like royalty on a regular basis, just like all of your plants 💚
@sarahkbartley Thank you, Sarah! I try to do right by them, but accidents happen. I think most of us have had several falls.
Definitely. When I had the stray puppy over, he knocked Melman (my bicolor/tricolor [unsure of color] Madagascar Dragon Tree) over and I had to emergency repot. Accidents happen. You have to take it in stride. What's done is done. 💚
I feel u...

Day 27: Trellis. Another thing I don't have! But here is a FLF I got today that I am SUPER excited about. #plantvember #plantvemberphotochallenge #flf #fiddle-leaf-fig #ficus-lyrata #houseplant #houseplants
He's so cute and little!! Love his leaf formation!! 🥰😍
@sarahkbartley Thank you! I'm already so attached to him. I'm trying to think of the right name.
His leaf pattern is definitely an inspiration!! I'm sure you'll think of a perfect name!!
Anybody know why the newest leaf is so wonky? Never had one come out like this.🤷♀️~~~~Anyway, Most Proud Of: I'm pretty proud of my fiddle, Phinneas. I know he's not perfect. The last 6 leaves have had pretty bad edema. I just can't seem to get the water right.😭 Still, I'm so proud of Phinneas for not dying and growing so quickly. I was a bit scared to get a fiddle. Everyone knows their reputation. But he has only dropped 2 leaves since I got him in November 2019. 🥳 #fiddle-leaf-fig #ficus-l
Is he a little fiddle or a regular size one?
Honestly idk. 😅 It wasn't labeled. If it's a big one, it's definitely still in its infancy.
Idk I was looking back thru his pics and for u having him a year and all his leaves are still mighty small. What size pot was he in when u got him? My bambino flf came in like a 6 in pot with a white cache pot and he came from. Like Lowes or something where did u get yours?
Maybe if u can take a pic of him with something next to it for size reference. Like a clear straight on shot and I may be able to tell for sure. Flf leaves grow big pretty fast even the small plant u know.
I just measured it and it's 13 inches tall, not including the pot. It came in a 4 inch pot, and it's only in a 5 inch pot now. The biggest leaf is 5 inches long. I got it at a nursery in Charlotte, North Carolina. @heatherdirtyhands
Tbh that's about the same measurements on my little fiddle. 6 in pot about 15 inches tall without pot and biggest leaf is about the length of my hand. I have had it about idk a little less than a year. I'm thinking thats what u have
I think inconsistent watering (letting the soil get too dry, then too wet) can cause that. In small pots, flfs are a little high-maintenance. Once it gets into a deeper pot, where the soil at the bottom stays moist, the new leaves should stop crinkling like that.
