Fiddle Leaf Fig- Ficus Lyrata 2 Gallon
Fiddle Leaf Fig- Ficus Lyrata 2 Gallon
We feel the need to start by telling you there is a support group on Facebook for this plant. If that doesn't deter you- this beauty is native to the rainforests of western and central Africa, the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree (Ficus lyrata) is a stunning plant with huge green leaves and an even larger following of houseplant fans. Despite its popularity, it's certainly not the easiest houseplant to look after, but its visual impact in a space is unmatched when given proper conditions and care.
The Fiddle Leaf Fig appreciates a warm, humid environment, a fair amount of water and plenty of light. Choose a location away from air vents and drafts where the tree will receive plenty of bright ambient light. Directly in front of, or close by a southern or western facing window is ideal, and eastern exposure can also work as long as the plant is directly in the window and the space feels very bright. A few hours of direct sun is also beneficial. If placed in a full-sun location (where the plant will receive over 6 hours of direct light daily), a humid environment will keep your Fiddle Leaf looking its best. We do not recommend this plant for windows with northern exposure. They will not thrive in low-light locations.
Always keep these potted in draining growers pots & be sure to let your Fiddle Leaf Fig dry out between watering. Give it plenty to drink when you do water- preferably letting the water run out the bottom in a sink. They are very prone to root rot & must not be left sitting in water. Big fans of frequent misting.
