How do I know when it's time to repot my fiddle leaf fig tree?

There are a few signs that can indicate it's time to repot your fiddle leaf fig tree:

  • The roots are visibly overcrowded in the current pot: If the roots are tightly packed, and there is no longer room to grow, it may be time to repot your fiddle leaf fig tree into a larger pot.
  • The plant is not growing or is growing very slowly: If your fiddle leaf fig tree is not growing or is growing very slowly, it may be because the roots are too crowded or the soil is no longer providing enough nutrients. In this case, repotting the plant into fresh soil may help stimulate new growth.
  • The plant is top-heavy: If your fiddle leaf fig tree has become top-heavy and is tipping over, it may be necessary to repot it into a larger pot to provide more support.
  • The pot has become too small: If the pot that your fiddle leaf fig tree is in is too small, the roots may not have enough room to grow and the plant may become root-bound. In this case, it's time to repot the plant into a larger pot.

In general, it is a good idea to repot your fiddle leaf fig tree every two to three years to provide fresh soil and give the roots more room to grow. When repotting, use a pot that is slightly larger than the current pot, as fiddle leaf fig trees do not like to be overpotted. Choose a pot with good drainage to prevent excess moisture from accumulating in the soil.
