Fiddle Leaf Fig Slow-Release Fertilizer

Ok I have a new fiddle tree that is huge and I bought in February and it’s growing quickly and doing so well. I think this is working. I also like that the packets are small and don’t take up space in a drawer. I would definitely think it’s making it grow faster and healthier.

I have 4 fiddle leaf trees I got on Facebook Marketplace not knowing anything about them or how fickle they can be. They looked kinda sad after a couple of weeks being in my house. I bought this food after reading the reviews and I’m hopeful! The 5 stars are because it’s been 20 days since I “fed” my fiddles and they are still alive and this food didn’t kill them. 😂 that’s my basis at this point. I also didn’t read the bad entirely (lots of fine print it’s a super small bag that fits in the palm of your hand) and I thought it was 6 weeks worth of food, but it’s 6 months worth of food! And I only used a couple of tablespoons total for all 4 plants - I feel like this bag will last a couple of years for the 4 that I have. I will buy this one again when I run out and hopefully still have my plants by then.

I inherited 3 of my mom’s fiddle leaf figs when she passed suddenly and I have minimal experience with plants but was determined for these to thrive. Mid-summer I had only gotten one new leaf out of the three plants and it came out with some small specs of brown on it. Not great. I read up and realized I need a fertilizer for these guys especially during the growing season, but the liquid fertilizers seemed more involved having to mix them into water for each feeding. These granules are the perfect solution! Mix it into the soil, water like normal, and it should last you the entire growing season. Within a week I got a new healthy leaf and within the two months since I used this in all three plants I’ve gotten 8 new leaves between the three plants, all healthy! I found my solution (along with reducing the temptation to over-water - I was doing it weekly and realized even during the summer these guys only need water every 10-14 days in my house). I’ve recommended this to my sister who got some fiddle leafs from my mom too and her’s were floundering. I asked how they were last week after a few weeks since she first used the fertilizer and she said hers are thriving now too and popping out new leaves!

Well, I've had this a few weeks now and I've not had any new growth so I'm still trying to give it some time. My plant is definitely alive but it went dormant on growth and I thought this would kick it back in gear since we're in the summer months. We will see if anything changes, I'll update if something miraculous happens.

it works

Got these a couple of weeks ago and my fiddle fig is having a new leaf sprouting

Use sparingly or they will burn your plant. I used as directed and my precious fiddle was burned. I would use half as much in the beginning and watch for signs of browning on your leaves. They are super easy to use and I hope they end up working well for my other fiddle. If I see any issues I will immediately repot it. I have worked WAY too hard to get my fiddle tree to grow tall and healthy inside my Minnesota home.

Great product
