Oh Fiddle Leaf

I finally got a fiddle leaf fig tree!  I have been wanting one for my office for the longest time and finally found one at a local nursery.  


ignore the blue plate underneath it, it's just temporary until I can find one of those things that keeps the water from going everywhere.


I'm just hoping it doesn't end up like my last plant...


yes, I killed a succulent.  The plants that are impossible to kill.  I mentioned this to the lady at the nursery and she assured me I would be fine.  She said Fiddle Leaf Figs thrive on neglect, I can do neglect.

and in other office news, I found this awesome lavender ginger jar at Goodwill for $2.99.  It goes perfectly in the office.

Ahh! Good luck. I don't know whats happening to mine. The leaves are getting brown spots and falling. I put it out in the sun today to see if it helps. Good luck.

My grandmother once gave me a plant which she said I could not kill and it was dead within a month, so I feel your pain! Good luck!

Get out of here!! I've been on the search for a Fiddle Leaf for my living room to neglect as well. They are so unique looking.

Hi! I live in Charlotte too and have been looking for one of these gorgeous plants! Do you mind sharing which nursery you found it at? Thanks so much :)

I bought 2 at Home Depot at the beginning of summer for 9.99. Still going strong and twice the size. Every now and then I put it outside for a week to get lots of sunlight.
