Honestly, I was killing my fiddle leaf fig by watering it every Tuesday for a year
I had this whole schedule, right? Every Tuesday morning, I'd give it a full cup of water. Last week, the leaves started dropping like crazy and the soil felt soggy. My friend, who runs a plant nursery in Tampa, came over and just stuck her finger in the dirt. She said, "You're drowning it. You water when it's dry two inches down, not because it's Tuesday." Ngl, I felt pretty dumb. How do you guys check your plants without overthinking it?
