Could the soil have become hydrophobic? I would try bottom watering and leaving it in the water for an hour or two to properly hydrate the soil. Hope this helps!


Hey all. I came home after a week away to find my fiddle leaf extremely droopy. The soil was very try so I immediately watered it. Now two days later and there’s no sign of change. Is there another issue or something more I should be doing?

Water seems to run through bottom of the pot very quickly the entire time I’ve had it. I also noticed fungus gnats in the room this past few weeks. My friend gave me this plant three months ago so I don’t know what kind of soil it’s in. Should I repot?

My fiddle can be a little fussy so I’m following for any advice anyone else might have!
