Product description
The fiddle-leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) is a popular houseplant known for its large, violin-shaped leaves. Native to West African rainforests, it requires bright, indirect light, consistent watering (allowing the top inch of soil to dry out), and high humidity. It is sensitive to temperature changes and drafts, and while it can grow very large, it is a popular ornamental plant for indoor spaces.
Care requirements
Light: Place in a room with bright, indirect light, such as near an east or south-facing window with a sheer curtain. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically once a week, but adjust based on conditions. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom, then let it drain completely before returning it to its spot. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Fiddle-leaf figs thrive in high humidity, so a humidifier is beneficial. Misting the leaves can also help.
Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm room (60–85°F) and away from drafts, heating vents, and air conditioning units.
Soil: Use a well-draining, all-purpose potting mix.
Fertilizing: Fertilize during the growing season (spring through fall) with a high-nitrogen foliage plant food. Do not fertilize in the winter.
Common issues
Brown spots: Can be caused by overwatering or a lack of nutrients.
Leaf drop: Often a reaction to changes in location, temperature, or watering schedule.
Leggy growth: Indicates the plant is not getting enough light.
Additional tips
Dusting: Keep the large leaves clean by wiping them with a damp cloth to help the plant breathe.
Repotting: If the plant becomes unstable or the soil is hydrophobic, it may need to be repotted or rehydrated from the bottom.
Pests: Fiddle-leaf figs can be susceptible to pests, so inspect them regularly.
