Pruning
For optimal growth, prune Lobb's fiddleleaf in early spring by removing dead branches and thinning out dense areas to improve airflow. This helps maintain the plant's shape, prevents legginess, and encourages healthy development. Make sure to use clean, sharp tools to minimize the risk of disease. Proper pruning not only enhances the plant's structure and visual appeal but may also increase its flowering potential.
