Feel like I should repot this plant soon. It's getting very tall. However, looking at the way the two stalks are growing apart from each other, I'm not sure if there are one or two plants in the pot. I've attached some photos of where the two stalks are coming out of the soil. Is it possible these stalks are connected by a rhizome beneath the soil? Any suggestions of what to do when I repot if I find there are in fact two separate plants with tangled root systems? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Nice looking plant(s).

Hard to tell but I'd guess 2.

If you re-pot and find 2 separate ones you could possibly split them, but I think it looks fuller with them together.

I agree. I'd like to keep them together. I'm just worried they might choke each other off if they're growing too close together in the same pot. When I first received this plant a year ago, it was less than a foot tall. I was told that it was a miniature variety of a fiddle leaf fig. However it seems to be growing very large very rapidly!

Very large very rapidly is excellent!

Number of plants, without being there to see it, the only way of knowing is for you to remove the pot and see if anything jumps out at you. Wouldn't bother until you up-pot it.

They won't choke each other off regardless. Accommodate their combined needs as they get bigger. Whatever you're doing, keep it up they look amazing!.

I assume you could plant a 1 one root-ball 2 stem plant and 2 one root-ball 1 stem plants in identical pots and they'd have pretty similar growth patterns.

I've had 5 in one pot and they grew great.

Good to know:)

I would leave them together. Aesthetically, better to me than two skinny ones.

Your advice is much appreciated.
Thank you, all! 🙋‍♀️
