A lot of people think every fiddle leaf fig needs support, but that’s not always the case.
When they’re young, a little sway from airflow can actually help them grow stronger trunks. But as they get taller and those big leaves and branches add weight, they may need a little extra help staying upright.
My fiddle leaf fig did great on its own for years. It wasn’t until it reached about 8 feet tall that I decided to add support.
Drop a photo of your fiddle leaf fig in the comments. I love seeing all the different shapes, sizes, and personalities these trees have. 🌿💚
