I am moving to Colorado from Northern Virginia. Is it possible to move a large houseplant? How? This fiddle leaf fig (his name is Figaro, actually) doesn’t have a strong center trunk (more)

Good job! You’re such a good plant parent!
I live in NOVA if you do want to find a new home for any plants. But I totally understand keeping your fig. You guys must be so close 😀

funny

Yes, we are close. We won’t go until early summer but I’ll keep your offer in mind. There may be others that need to be adopted. 😀

I would go to a nursery and get tree stakes. Tie up the trunk and put the pot in a plastic garbage bag to prevent soil from spilling everywhere.

Did you end up moving it with you?

This is one of my favorite couples from the show. While Steven was quite immature during the show, it seemed like he was just young and wanted to be a good dad. They've been together as a family for a while now, he has taken up yoga to manage his temper issues, she has a career on the side as a photographer and they seem happy. I hope their social media is a true representation of their lives and I hope they are truly happy together with their little son 😊
