My wife convinced me we could rescue this fragile Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree from Lowe's clearance rack. At only $7, I decided to do my best and pray for Jesus to do the rest. We took a chance on this product based on previous reviews that I read. It was simple to apply to the soil since we were repotting it within a few days. After three days, the tree was repotted in Professional Fiddle Leaf Fig soil manufactured by Leaves and Soul. At the same time, we included the recommended amount of Grow Co. Fiddle Leaf Fig plant food pellets. The pellets were placed about 1/2 inch to an inch deep into the soil evenly around the top of the pot. The fig showed signs of new growth around 25-30 days later with moderate watering and placement in an east-facing window. Now, 38 days after the plant food was added, we have three fresh leaves (as shown in the photos) and healthy expansion in the existing leaves. The old leaves are not drooping, and the new ones are vibrant in color. I think we have a survivor! I will add this, too: we specifically chose to be on the less-than instead of over-fertilizing side of things because I didn't want the old plant to burn. If the measurement says 1/4 tsp for every inch of pot width, I would deduct an inch from whatever my pot width is just to be safe. Based on this result, I'm going to buy the Grow Co. Monstera liquid fertilizer and the 4X Mycorrhizae Rooting Hormone for future use. I hope they will produce similar positive results.

While I don’t have a Fiddle-Leaf Fig, I have two other species of Ficus, F. elastica(Rubber Tree) and variegated F. benjamina(Weeping Fig) and they are thriving with this fertilizer. My Weeping Fig has stopped dropping leaves and has really filled in with new growth and new branches, and my Rubber Tree is now growing leaves larger than my hand! If I was reviewing on results alone, this product would receive 5 stars because it performs very well. The pictures on the left are from July 3rd(the day they were given fertilizer) and the pictures on the right are from today, August 15. I think they speak for themselves. My only complaint is that I would prefer a liquid fertilizer with this NPK formula, as I like to have greater control over when I am and when I am not feeding my plants. For this reason, I have removed one star. I see that The Grow Co offers a liquid Ficus fertilizer(I didn’t see this available for sale when I purchased the granules, and I looked), but I will be interest to try it in the future and compare the two! All in all, this is a very nice fertilizer, I would recommend it heartily, and I would buy it again! (Unless you release a liquid version… hint hint!)

Much bigger leaves of the fig tree plant. More prolific. A definite improvement after adding pellets. They also last a long time, when sprinkled on the soil of the pot and gently pressed in. Will purchase more when running on empty.

I fertilized and started using a plant light the same day. One struggling plant perked up immediately and my miniature FLF grew about 4 inches and sprouted at least 8 new leaves. I wasn’t sure if it was the fertilizer, the light, or both. My daughter in law had a FLF that had root rot. She replanted and I ran by a few days later to fertilize it. She sent me pics the other day because she was so excited that it had grown 6 leaves and is doing amazing. The bag is small but will last a long time, even with 3 plants. I feel like I already got my money’s worth.

Works for my plants.

Overpriced. Not seeing the purported results.

My FLF was just existing, no new growth, staying short and fluffy, no matter how much sun or water I gave her. Moved into a new house with super high ceilings which made me realize my FLF hadn’t grown at all, in the year I’ve had it. Sprinkled a little bit of these beads and watered on top, not even one week later, she’s pumping out so many new leaves!! Each node is unraveling at least 3 leaves. The product bag is tiny and somewhat expensive, but with this new growth, totally worth it. I can’t wait to see how big she gets!

Very nice high quality soil mix. Plant instantly loved this stuff vice the "traditional" store soil used.

These two photos were taken only 3 months apart. Anyone who cares for plants knows that fiddle leaf figs are notoriously slow growers. In the "before" photo, it only had 5-6 leaves and looked small and lifeless. Now, it’s absolutely thriving, lush, and full of gorgeous leaves. Its growth hasn’t stopped! I only used a tiny teaspoon of this fertilizer once, and the results are incredible. Honestly, this is the best $30 I’ve ever spent on my plants. All other fertilizers don’t even compare. I’ve also used it on my other plants, and their growth has been equally impressive. If you’re looking for a fertilizer for your fiddle leaf fig, PLEASE get this one!

Good but a bit expensive There are better quality in the market for the price

My fig tree grew some nice shiny new leaves after using this food.
