I bought another fiddle ficus. Let's see how long this one lasts me. OK, back story, about 6 years ago, when we were furniture shopping for our home, we went into this really modern store and they had these giant fiddle ficus trees. They were gorgeous. I, in my impulsive state, went the next day to a nursery bought one, and a pot at Target. I immediately replanted it in the pot. A few things went wrong, I had no idea how to pot a plant, the pot was way too small, it was a light weight material which toppled over, and I had no where for the water to go. So the first time I watered it, it went outside and stayed in a little corner toppled over in a sad state. I actually went into my backyard last night and it's still there laying on it's side. Yea, I've told you my backyard is a disgrace. So last week, sister number 3, tells me she wants a tree and I tell her to find one of these. She found it for $15 at a nursery. I ran there like two days later and bought one for myself. I bought this giant pot at Target for about $40. I love it and it's light weight, but wide enough to not topple over.
I have my watering schedule in place, so we should be good. My husband likes it, but is thinking that the room looks cluttered. Little does he know that I want a rug for this space. Any advice for maintaining my new tree?
