Fiddle Leaf Fig

Correct the lean?


I’ve had this plant for 7 years or so, when it was maybe 30” tall. We repotted in May and it’s been growing a ton, but also leaning sideways despite regularly rotating.

We had the lean rotated away from light until today, thinking that it would eventually bend back toward the window. Now I’m wondering if we should embrace the lean and let it grow toward the light since it doesn’t have much room to the ceiling anyway. Or should we rotate it back toward the fireplace (darker side of room) or try to tie it with string to straighten? I don’t particularly want to prune it or cause it to branch as I like the single tall stem, but I’m happy to hear advice if trimming is the only correct option.
