Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my inch plant have Hydrogen peroxide drench?
Cause: Primary issue is over-watering (12 cups weekly in tiny non-draining pot) causing root rot, compounded by root-bound conditions suffocating roots, direct sunlight scorching leaves, and physical stress from cat climbing/movement disturbance—common in Ficus lyrata (fiddle leaf fig) due to its sensitivity to wet feet and environmental changes.
Solution: Repot immediately into a larger pot with drainage holes using airy peat-based mix to address root rot and root-bound state.
Prevention: Monitor soil moisture with finger test or smart sensor before watering; maintain stable location to avoid shock; use pet barriers; ensure 60-70% humidity and 65-75°F temps for optimal fiddle leaf fig health.
