-
Repot once a year during Spring into a pot that is one size bigger - while your plant is still growing. The Fiddle Leaf Fig wants to grow big and needs the space for its roots to do so, so keep repotting as it grows. After it really matures and is in a big enough pot after a few years of repotting, you can keep it in its pot and just replace the top 5cm of potting soil. Read our step by step potting and repotting guide on our blog for repotting tips.
