We hold plants for three days — pop in, meet it first, take it home if it clicks.
Living with it
The fiddle leaf has a reputation for drama, and it’s half-earned: it hates being moved, hates cold draughts, and will drop leaves to make a point. But most of that drama is really about consistency.
Give it the same bright, indirect spot every day, water when the top two inches dry out, and rotate it a quarter-turn each week so it grows evenly. The plants we sell have already been acclimated to indoor light for a full season — the riskiest weeks are behind them before they reach you.
