They require a lot of light and don't enjoy temperatures that are too cold or drafty. They also shed leaves in response to environmental changes which is common. However when the plant loses too many leaves, it could have less surface area to absorb sunlight, which can slow the rate of growth.As a rule Fiddle Leaf Figs will increase in height by about a foot every year, but they can grow even taller with the right conditions.

It's important to avoid over-watering as this can cause root rot and other issues. It's better to let the soil air dry between waterings. However, if you do, use water that isn't too cold or hot.Give the plant more light to encourage branching. This will encourage it to branch out from the side and stop growing straight upwards.
