Shake your Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree There is evidence that FLF tree benefits from a phenomenon called thigmomorphogenesis, which refers to plants responding to the many forms of 'mechanical perturbations' they experience in the wild, like wind and rain. Shaking a Ficus trunk a few times per week can help the plant grow! When the trunk of the plant is shaken, this stimulates the trunk to grow thicker and taller and helps promote additional foliage growth. #plantcaretips #fiddleleaffig #fiddlecare #pl
