When a Bambino FLF drops most of its leaves, downsizing to a smaller pot is a community-recommended recovery move. Oversized pots hold excess moisture and cause root rot, the silent killer of struggling FLFs.
Several months ago I lost 90% of the leaves. It has since grew some leaves and is doing 'ok'. I repotted (to smaller pot) in October ('23).
The compact, more forgiving cousin of the classic fiddle leaf fig. Stays smaller than standard Ficus lyrata but delivers the same dramatic, violin-shaped leaves with fewer tantrums.
The full-size fiddle leaf fig grows taller and bolder than the Bambino, reaching 6ft+ indoors. A statement plant for those with space and patience for its notoriously fussy nature.
Growing your Bambino FLF in pon (semi-hydroponic mineral substrate) dramatically reduces overwatering risk, the #1 killer of fiddle leaf figs. Community members report healthier, more resilient plants with this method.
The Breville Bambino Plus is the reigning entry-level espresso machine champion, compact, fast to heat, and capable of producing café-quality shots. A beloved starter machine with a strong community following.
