How can I effectively cut back my fiddle leaf fig plant to promote healthy growth and maintain its shape?

To effectively cut back a fiddle leaf fig plant for healthy growth and shape maintenance, use sharp, clean pruning shears to trim any overgrown or damaged branches. Focus on cutting just above a leaf node to encourage new growth. Additionally, remove any yellowing or dead leaves to promote overall plant health. It's important to avoid cutting off too much at once to prevent stress to the plant. Regular pruning and maintenance will help your fiddle leaf fig thrive and maintain its desired shape.
