That looks fine to me. Sorry no one answered you before. When repotting I was taught to repot in the next size pot available. You did the right thing. They are very healthy looking.

Is there a drainage hole in that container?

Like most Ficus, these will grow quickly with light, water, and nutrients.
The container should be fine for a season or two.

The Fiddle-leaf Fig is a bit slow amongst Ficus plants. The advantage of staying with the smaller pot initially is that too much soil has a tendency to retain more water and become more soggy. Better staying with small until it has built up a good root system. A bit crowded doesn't worry Ficus.

I think the poster is long gone.... But maybe other people will find the information given here.

Hi There

I'm a fiddle leaf fig newbie from Perth, Western Australia. I have 2 single stemmed trees growing nicely with new leaves coming from both the top and bottom.

Ideally I would have loved a multi-stemmed fig as I like the bushy look.

My figs are currently around 50cm tall. Can I replant them together into a single pot or am I better off cutting the bud off once my new leaves get a bit tougher (they've just opened from the bud so are quite a pale green) and encouraging branching.

I'm secretly hoping that a new stem is hiding below the surface haha.

Thanks for any help you can give!!

I find they tend to like growing a bit spindly. But it also depends on light levels. Low light, particularly indoors, results in most of the leaves up top with bare stems.

Exactly, they are apically dominant and will be spindly unless the light levels are high.

Regular pruning/pinching will help the plant branch and stay more bushy. You could also root the cuttings in the same container, creating a small grove to fill out and enhance the look. That's how I'd do it, personally.
