Fiddle leaf fig

(Ficus lyrata, Ficus lyrata ‘Compacta’)​

The Fiddle Leaf Fig has been all the rage for the past few years, and rightfully so. This popular houseplant adds an unmatched architectural luxury to interiors with its lush, heavily-veined, fiddle-shaped leaves. Although the Fiddle Leaf Fig has a reputation for being fickle, we think the reward of elegance is well worth the effort.

Picture
Bright, indirect light is a must. Rotate the plant slightly every 2-3 weeks for even growth. 
Picture
Allow the soil to dry 1/2 of the way down the container, before watering thoroughly. Proper drainage is crucial. Do not let the soil sit in standing water.
Picture
Fiddle Leaf Figs appreciate warm, humid environments. Avoid placing your plant in the direct line of a draft from heaters, air conditioners, and doorways.
Picture
As a houseplant, the Ficus lyrata can reach up to 6 feet tall or more, while the Ficus lyrata ‘Compacta’ grows less than 5 feet tall.
Picture
Fertilize once a month during the spring and summer months with a diluted, water-soluble, balanced fertilizer.
Picture
Causes digestive distress if ingested.
Picture
Clean the leaves regularly with a neem oil product designed for houseplants. This helps to combat pests and adds shine to the foliage.
