Ficus lyrata Outdoors? And Fertilizer for Majesty Palm

Ficus lyrata (fiddle leaf fig) on a porch: Direct, unfiltered sunlight will scorch the leaves. Only place it outside if the porch is enclosed with screening or glass that diffuses the light. Even then, acclimate gradually over 1–2 weeks.

Majesty palm fertilizer: Majesty palms (Ravenea rivularis) are notoriously difficult indoors—they demand high light, humidity, and consistent moisture. If yours is healthy, use Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6, a complete formula with micronutrients. Apply at half strength monthly during active growth. Never fertilize a stressed plant—it worsens root damage.
