Hi,
I know this is a common plant but I have no idea what it is: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/vernonheights/album?.dir=d52f

It's really been going from bad to worse for quite some time. I have it near a window with slightly filtered light, but the leaves (or what's left of them!) are clearly in terrible shape.

Also, in addition to identifying the plant, any advice would certainly be welcome. It would also be nice to know if the leaves will come back on the main stalks. Thanks.

Hi,

I attempted to view your pics but received a message that the file is inaccessible. Perhaps you could try posting the photo again?

Hi, I think that's it...fiddle leaf fig! Thanks so much for your help Gardencrazy. All I have to do now is get the thing back into some sort of health.

Thanks again

Yep,

It is a Fiddle Leaf Fig. I would suggest some fertilizer and a little bit more light.

Good Luck!
