Not Sure About Fig Tree Light? Indoor Care Made Easy!

Not Sure About Fig Tree Light? Indoor Care Made Easy!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Alright, so I’ve been getting into houseplants lately, and I decided to try my hand at a fig tree. I’d heard they can be a little finicky, especially with light, so I wanted to document my process and see if I could actually keep this thing alive indoors.

Figuring Out the Light Situation

First, I did some digging. All the guides emphasized “bright, indirect light”. Okay, sounds easy enough, right? But what does that actually mean in my apartment? I don’t have, like, a dedicated sunroom or anything fancy.

Not Sure About Fig Tree Light? Indoor Care Made Easy!

I started by scoping out my windows. I’ve got a big one in my living room that gets a ton of light, but the sun beams directly through it in the afternoon. I figured that was a no-go – I didn’t want to fry my new plant!

  • East-facing window: Seemed promising, gets gentle morning sun.
  • South-facing window: Way too intense, direct sun all day.
  • West-facing window: This gets blasted with the hottest light during the late afternoon and the temperature gets crazy.
  • North-facing window: Not enough light, probably.

The Experiment Begins

I ended up putting the fig tree near the east-facing window, but a few feet back so it wasn’t directly in the sunbeams. Like, I pulled it back so it was still bright, but not getting those harsh rays right on the leaves.

Then came the waiting game. I watered it when the top inch of soil felt dry (another tip I picked up), and just…watched it. For, like, weeks. I’m not the most patient person, so this was tough.

Observations and Adjustments

After a couple of weeks, I noticed some of the lower leaves were starting to look a little…sad. A bit droopy, maybe even a tinge yellow. Uh oh. I figured maybe it still wasn’t getting enough light, even though it was near the window.

So, I moved it a little closer. Not directly in the sun, but closer to the light source. I also started rotating the pot every week, so all sides of the plant got some exposure. It is very important to rotate the pot.

And what I tried seeems working well.

It’s been a few months now, and my fig tree is actually doing pretty well! It’s put out some new leaves, and it generally looks happy and healthy. I’m still keeping a close eye on it, but I think I’ve finally cracked the code for indoor fig tree lighting – at least in my apartment.

Basically, it’s all about finding that sweet spot: bright, but not scorching. And being willing to adjust things if the plant seems unhappy. It’s a bit of trial and error, but totally worth it when you see those new leaves unfurl!
