Watering Fiddle Leaf Fig: Ditch the Schedule, Use the Finger Test

Q: I water my fiddle leaf fig 2 quarts twice a week. Too much or too little?
A: Fixed schedules cause problems. Use your “digital water meter” (index finger): check soil every few days. If dry an inch down, water. Needs vary greatly between winter and summer. For a boost, place outdoors in bright shade (not full sun) until early September.
