My fig plant grew a lot since I got her, and looks great right now, but I’m concerned for her future. Any watchouts for me if she reaches the ceiling? Should I cut it? Is she going to bend over / is that ok? 😖

you can cut it at the top and then it will start branching! you can use the part that you cut off to propagate and grow a baby tree :)

Regular pruning is very important to do for any indoor plant to avoid overgrowth. prune your Fiddle Leaf back to the desired height, I recommend only about 1/3 at first time so as to avoid shocking you tree…it may look a little worse for wear. Don’t worry, though, because it is already starting to activate new growth from the auxiliary buds and, within a few weeks, you should see new branches pushing from your cut locations.

Another thing to keep in mind is to reduce watering as now your tree is not as tall as before due to trimming and excess water would be bad for the roots and new growth could be stunted.
