Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus Lyrata)

About Fiddle Leaf Fig

Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata) is a timeless favourite for interior decor, known for its large, violin-shaped leaves and striking upright growth. This compact variety brings the same architectural elegance as larger specimens while staying manageable for tabletops and smaller spaces.

Growing Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Soil: Premium organic potting mix with good drainage.
• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity; mist occasionally to maintain leaf health.

Placement

Suits living rooms, bedside tables, windowsills, offices, and entryways.

Care

• Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry; ensure proper drainage to avoid waterlogging.
• Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or once roots fill the pot.
• Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth.

Note: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. The milky sap can mildly irritate skin on contact and cause GI upset if chewed or ingested - a standard Ficus-family caution. Keep away from pets and small children who chew on plants.
