How can I effectively prune a fiddle leaf fig to promote healthy growth and maintain its shape?

To effectively prune a fiddle leaf fig for healthy growth and shape maintenance, use clean, sharp pruning shears to trim any dead or damaged leaves. Cut back any leggy or overgrown branches to encourage new growth. Make sure to prune in the spring or early summer when the plant is actively growing. Avoid removing more than one-third of the plant's foliage at a time to prevent stress.
