A lot of plants struggle after coming home, and this is usually why. The growing medium they’re sold in is designed for transport and store displays, not for long-term growth. That dense mix stays wet far too long, which can slowly weaken the roots and create issues over time. I’m resetting this one the right way. Clearing away the old material, giving it more space in a nursery pot, and planting it in a chunky, airy blend that supports healthy root development.

A little pruning can completely change the shape of your fiddle leaf fig.

Whether you pinch the newest growth or make a clean cut above a node, you’re encouraging the plant to develop a fuller canopy over time.

Don’t expect overnight results. New branches take time, but the wait is worth it.

Have you ever tried this on your fiddle leaf fig?

I always get asked where I find large clear nursery pots for my bigger plants — and after searching everywhere, this is the widest one I’ve found at 11.65 inches. They come in a pack of 3 and each pot includes its own tray (which I love).

Clear nursery pots are ideal because you can actually monitor what’s happening below the soil line. You can catch overwatering issues early, see how established the plant is, and know when it’s truly time to size up. It takes the guesswork out of plant care.

They’re especially helpful for monsteras, fiddle leaf figs, rubber trees — any plant where drainage and root health really matter.

Tall containers can be tricky when your plant doesn’t quite reach the top.

Yes — you can flip an empty nursery container upside down to create extra lift. I’ve done it before, and it works in a pinch.

But I’ve found they can shift over time, especially with heavier plants or after watering. The last thing I want is movement inside a planter that’s holding a big, heavy plant.

I prefer using something built to handle the weight — it feels more secure, more intentional, and it comes in multiple sizes so you can match it to different pots and plants.

And after lifting that thing into place… I’m not redoing it. 💪🌿

If you’ve ever tried propagating a snake plant from a cutting, this is SO much easier.

Snake plants naturally grow pups from underground rhizomes, so once a pup has its own roots, you can separate it and pot it up. No cutting leaves and waiting forever for roots to develop.

When I repot, I add these two for a strong start and to support the roots as they settle into their new pots.

One of my favorite little plant finds lately. 🌿

I love that this shelf can sit right in the middle of the window instead of only at the bottom. It’s been a great spot for a few plants that need bright light, and it keeps them away from curious pets and little hands.

Do you really want to stare at that damaged growth for the next few years? 👀

I know it’s hard to cut off a BIG part of a tree you’ve spent years growing. But sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet and trust the process.

Make the cut. Give it some patience. In a few months, you could have a whole bunch of fresh new growth and be SO glad you did it. 🌿✂️

Would you make the cut, or would you leave it?

We’ve all flipped a nursery pot upside down and called it a plant stand. But do you REALLY want to trust that with one of your heavier plants?!

This pure iron plant riser is so clutch for those bigger, heavier plants. It’s super sturdy, and I love that I can adjust the height depending on the plant, planter, or space I’m styling.

No more stacking random things underneath trying to get the height just right.

And for my outdoor planters, elevating them makes such a difference too, especially when you want better drainage without filling that entire planter with soil.

Sometimes it’s the little plant styling tricks that make the biggest difference. ✨

Comment “FIDDLE” for all the links 🌿

Your new fiddle leaf fig deserves the best start — and it all begins before it even comes inside.

Here are the 3 things I always do first:

1️⃣ Check and refresh the soil. Bad soil = unhappy fiddle. Soak the root ball, remove the old soil, and repot into fresh well-draining soil with good drainage.
2️⃣ Clean the leaves. Soak, clean, and wipe them down so they can actually breathe and absorb light.
3️⃣ Don’t prune just yet. I know it’s tempting but wait 4 to 6 weeks — pruning too soon will stress it out.

Once it’s pest-free, it comes inside immediately and finds a bright indirect light spot. 🌞

Save this for the next time you bring home a fiddle leaf fig. 🌿

No more struggling with heavy planters. 🙌

I planted a bougainvillea in the 20-gallon planter, but I won’t be using the self-watering system with this one since bougainvilleas prefer to dry out between waterings.

For the 30-gallon planter, I’m planning to plant a citrus tree and use the optional Gen 3 self-watering system. 🍋

The upgraded Gen 3 design lets you refill the reservoir in seconds, making watering so much more convenient.

Both sizes have locking wheels, which makes dealing with big, heavy planters SO much easier.

My fiddle leaf fig sits right by a west-facing window, so it gets lots of bright afternoon light. ☀️🌿

Since that afternoon sun can get pretty strong, I use light-filtering blinds to soften the direct sunlight while still keeping the room nice and bright.

Fiddles LOVE light, and they usually do best much closer to a bright window than people realize. If yours isn’t growing the way you’d like, its light might be the first thing to check.

Mealybugs will humble you real quick.

If you see white, fuzzy spots on your plant, don’t ignore it. They spread fast, but you can get ahead of it with a simple routine.

Here’s the safe spray I use:

• 1 quart water, 4 cups
• 1/4 teaspoon Dr. Bronner’s peppermint soap

Shake gently and spray the entire plant. Get under the leaves, along the stems, and into every crevice.

Then wipe the plant down to remove anything left behind.

Repeat every 5 to 7 days until they’re gone.

For heavier infestations, you’ll need something stronger.

Ready to take your Hoya to the next level? Here are 2 more tips you don’t want to miss:

Not afraid to get a little dirt under your nails? 😂🪴 Your finger might be the best moisture meter you already own!

It’s my favorite way to check the soil because I can actually feel how much moisture is still there.

But if getting your hands dirty isn’t your thing, a soil probe or moisture meter works great too!

Whichever method you choose, always check the soil BEFORE you water. 🌱💦

For the first two years, my Fiddle Leaf Fig grew, but very slowly.

In 2025, I started feeding it consistently, and that’s when I saw a huge shift. More new leaves, stronger growth, and it just kept going.

Now in 2026, it’s still pushing out new growth.

Light gives your plant the energy to grow, but it still needs nutrients to support all that new growth. For mine, getting consistent with both made all the difference.

Push the spike into your soil, add water to the bottom of the outer pot, and it slowly wicks moisture up to the roots automatically. No complicated setup, nothing fancy.

One important tip: let all the water fully absorb before refilling, and wait for the soil to dry out between waterings. This keeps roots healthy and prevents rot.

They also come in different sizes so they work for everything from tiny herbs to larger houseplants.

Fill it up before you leave and your plants are covered while you’re away. 🌴

Comment SNAKE 🐍 if you’d like the links🌿

3 reasons I love snake plants:
• They purify the air and release oxygen at night—perfect for bedrooms 😴
• Super low maintenance (I water about once a month)
• They tolerate low light but grow even better with more light

I’m repotting this one into a chunky @solsoils succulent gritty mix to keep drainage on point and roots happy 🌱

Easy plant. Less stress. More green.

The plant mess stays right here, not all over my house 🌿
Say hello to my mobile potting and repotting station.

It’s on wheels, so I can roll it wherever my plants need me. I added a cooling rack on top, make sure it’s at least 16 inches long, and it creates the perfect mess free surface for repotting smaller plants.

I keep two scoopers on hand for different size scoops, and of course my go to soil mix. It’s equal parts FoxFarm Organic Soil, perlite, and orchid bark for a chunky, well draining blend that plants love.
