Pros
- I don't know what my husband does but ours is beautiful and it did not die as we thought it would. It even went through a move with us and it continues to do well.
- I put very little effort into mine and it's doing well.
- I have one that is 8ft tall. It was at the store selling for $1200, the owner saw us looking at it and asked if we were interested. We said we couldn’t afford it, so he said make your price and we said it would be insulting, so he said i...
- Where are you located lmao i want this bad boy

Cons
- The plant that will cause you anguish
- Fickle leaf fig, cus it will die if you look at wrong.
- The saddest disappointment I've ever bought three times. I think they don't like my zone 2 east facing window and untreated well water, but they aren't allowed to come to my house anymore.🤣🤣

I have one that is 8ft tall. It was at the store selling for $1200, the owner saw us looking at it and asked if we were interested. We said we couldn’t afford it, so he said make your price and we said it would be insulting, so he said it was more important for the plant to have a house and owners it could thrive in, vs price. So we offered $150, and got it.
Y’all are plant crazy. I picked one of these off the curb that someone was throwing out before winter. Kept it for 3 years and it looked just like this when I GAVE IT AWAY to the first person that would pick it up off marketplace. Took 2 days to get someone to pick it up FOR FREE.
