Q.Drooping Fiddle Leaf Fig

Zone Dubai, UAE | ARACELIFAP added on June 27, 2020 | Answered

hi, so I bought this plant 2 months ago. I left it in its container and noticed root rot after a week. So i repotted it, i left it to dry then water once every 2 weeks. Now i noticed thats its drooping, it didnt drop any leaves yet. I attached pictures of the soil, please advice if I should water it now? Also, i attached the location of it from the window. Btw, i have an artificial sunlight, but can only open it during weekend coz I am working.thank you so much .

Drooping can be normal, but I suspect that the bacteria infection has something to do with it. I notice the lesions on the trunk, which can cause leaves to droop when near the petiol.

I would recommend Fungicides. They contain the bactericides necessary to kill off the infection. Anything Copper-based will be appropriate.
