My neighbor told me to water my new fiddle leaf fig every single day, and after two weeks its leaves started turning yellow and dropping.

I switched to watering it only when the top inch of soil in the Chicago apartment is dry, and it's finally pushing out a new leaf after a month of looking sad, so what's the biggest plant care myth you've ever been told?

That's a solid point from Laura, actually.

Watched my buddy try that fix on his old laptop. It booted up fine for a week then the screen went totally black. Sometimes a short win just hides a bigger problem.
