My #fiddleleaffig plants live outside spring-fall—except for this one. It’s grown to over 10 feet tall and is stuck in my bedroom. Thank goodness for high ceilings! #houseplants

Never, ever has anything eaten my #fiddleleaffig leaves—until now. Maybe a caterpillar? That was several days ago and there hasn’t been any more damage. Perhaps the tough leaves didn’t sit well with whatever munched down. I’ll be moving it inside soon. Hope no creatures are included in the move.

Maybe wash all the leaves down before you take it inside?

@brightcolours - Yep. Also, I had already planned to repot so hopefully I won’t have anything wintering over in the soil. 🤨

I experimented with my first cutting July 2020. Just lopped off a piece of a lanky #fiddleleaffig, stuck it in water until it rooted, planted it about six weeks later, and look at it now! It spends 7-8 months on one of my porches before coming in for the winter. #fiddleleaffig-propagation
