Debra: I forgot to say Great job! on that rescued Ficus lyrata ("Fiddle Leaf Ficus" tree). They are nice plants. If it grows too tall you can prune the top and root it for another plant. I had to cut mine back last year and rooted two cuttings. I can't find one so I'm assuming it kicked the bucket over winter.

My sister and brother in law in south Fla had a really huge Fiddle Leaf Ficus in their backyard that they cut down because they didn't like it .. that tree was @ 6' around and 8' tall, it was so beautiful. If the base and root system hadn't been so huge I would have brought it home!

This is mine. The little pot in front is a cutting from the big plant.
