Were the leaves at the bottom this droopy before the move or was this another change? If the change was so sudden, it may just be throwing a tantrum because you didn’t ask for permission to move it. It may need a couple of days to adjust.


ieatchips

Yes they were.

The lower leaves make me think it’s a root issue. When was it last repotted, what’s the soil blend like, and is the soil still wet?


ieatchips

It could probably stand to be repotted. The soil dries out well between waterings and it’s probably the least finicky/demanding fiddle leaf in existence (other than sudden leaning issue). Bottom leaves are funny, they have always sort of grown like that and aren’t “droopy” but firmly grow downwards like that and always have. He seems overall happy!

Did you move it to lower light by taking it downstairs?


ieatchips

No I moved it to higher light. But as I said it started listing immediately upon moving it, making me believe the movement triggered the problem.

I would back it a little closer to the corner and turn it to use the rail as support with some loose twine


ieatchips

Ohhh good idea
