Alright, let’s talk about this fiddle leaf fig, you know, the one with them big ol’ leaves. Can you put it outside on your porch here in Oklahoma? Well, that’s what we’re gonna figure out.
First off, Oklahoma weather, it ain’t always the same, right? Summertime, it gets hot as blazes, and winter, well, it can freeze your socks off. So, you gotta think about that when you’re thinkin’ about puttin’ your plant outside.
Now, these fiddle leaf fellas, they like it warm. I heard somewhere they like it ’bout 60 to 75 degrees durin’ the day, and not much colder than 50 or 55 at night. So, if you’re gonna put ’em outside, you gotta wait till it’s warm enough, you hear?
And the sun, oh boy, that sun can be tricky. These plants, they like sun, but not too much sun all at once. It’s like us, you know? If you stay out in the sun too long, you get burned. Same thing with them leaves. They’ll get all brown and crispy, and that ain’t pretty.
- So, if you’re gonna put your fiddle leaf outside, do it slow.
- Put it out for a little bit in the shade first, then maybe a little bit of mornin’ sun, and then, if it’s doin’ alright, you can give it some more.
- But watch them leaves close, real close.
Now, about this Oklahoma wind, it can be somethin’ fierce. Them big leaves on the fiddle leaf, they can catch the wind like a sail, and that can knock your plant right over. And if it’s cold and windy, well, that ain’t good at all. So, find a spot on your porch that’s kinda sheltered from the wind, if you can.
And what about winter? Can you leave it outside in the winter? Well, I wouldn’t. Oklahoma winters, they can get real cold, and that fiddle leaf, it won’t like that one bit. It’ll freeze and die, and then you’ll be out a plant. So, when it starts gettin’ cold, bring that plant inside, where it’s warm.
So, to make it plain and simple, can you put your fiddle leaf fig on your porch in Oklahoma? Maybe, but only when it’s warm enough, and you gotta be careful about the sun and the wind. And when it gets cold, bring it inside. You take care of that plant, and it’ll take care of you, with them pretty green leaves.
And don’t forget, plants need water too. Not too much, not too little. Just enough to keep the soil damp, but not soggy. You stick your finger in the dirt, and if it feels dry, give it some water. If it feels wet, leave it be. It ain’t rocket science, you know.
And one more thing, these plants, they like to be in the same spot. They don’t like bein’ moved around all the time. So, find a good spot on your porch, and leave it there. Unless it gets too cold or too windy, of course. Then you gotta move it inside, where it’ll be safe.
So there you have it. That’s what I know about puttin’ a fiddle leaf fig on your porch in Oklahoma. It ain’t hard, but you gotta pay attention. Just like takin’ care of anythin’ else, you know? Give it a little love, and it’ll grow big and strong.
Now, I ain’t no fancy plant expert or nothin’, but I’ve been around long enough to know a thing or two about plants and weather. And this is just what I think, based on what I’ve seen and heard. If you ain’t sure, you can always ask someone who knows more than me. But I reckon if you follow these tips, your fiddle leaf will do just fine on your porch, at least for a little while.
