Fiddle Leaf Fig , Ficus Lyrata , 5ft – Plant

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree, also known as Ficus Lyrata, is a gorgeous plant that has graced many magazine covers and Instagram accounts with its iconic bright-green fiddle-like foliage. Being natives to African rainforests' hot and wet conditions, the Ficus Lyrata Tree is infamously known to be finicky houseplants. However, equipped with our care tips and tricks, you can watch your Fiddle Leaf Fig blossom into an unparalleled visual impact in your room for years to come.

General

A very happy Fiddle Fig Plant can outgrow your house and reach heights of roughly 10 feet. Your fast-growing Lyrata plant will undoubtedly be the statement piece of any room it lives in.

In the wild, these natural epiphytes can easily reach heights of 40 feet.

Sunlight

Due to its enormous leaves, your Fiddle Leaf Ficus requires a lot more sunlight to generate food for itself.

Your Lyrata Ficus requires plenty of bright indirect sunlight to moderate full sunlight. Consider placing it close to southern/western facing windows. You can also set it directly on a very bright and sunny eastern window.

Direct exposure to hot afternoon sun can burn the leaves, while low light can cause result in slow growth and drooping leaves.

Fiddly Fig Plant cannot tolerate a temperature below 10℃ and will develop brown spots.

Watering

Make sure that the top inch of the soil is dry to touch before watering your Fiddle Leaf Fig Ficus. Too little water can cause leaf and colour loss, while too much of it can lead to root rot and ultimately death.

You may have to water your plant every 2-3 days during summers and spring and 3-4 times a month during the autumn and winter season.

Make sure to use pot and soil with excellent drainage.

Your Fiddleback Fig requires high humidity, which can be attained with regular misting or using a pebble tray. It might also be worth investing in a humidifier.

Soil

Fiddle Fig Ficus needs a well-draining soil mix with enough aeration to keep their roots healthy.

Fertilizer

Your Fig Leaf Tree is a heavy feeder and requires monthly Nitrogen-rich fertilization to maintain its dense leaves. You can consider using fertilizers with a 3:1:2 NPK Ratio.

Use of fertilizers during the autumn and winter is not required.

Toxicity

Fiddle Tree can be toxic for pets if ingested.

Additional Care

Your Figgy Leaf Tree does not favour extreme temperature fluctuations. Avoid placing it near drafty areas, air-conditioning, and heating vents.

To revive a dying ficus lyrata, or for a bushier growth, chop off the stem's top, and new leaves will sprout.

For consistent growth and to avoid leaning, rotate your plant every few days, such that every part receives sunlight.

Regularly clean the leaves with a damp cloth to help them absorb sunlight more efficiently and maintain a polished appearance.

Keep a close eye on your Fiddle Leaf Fig as it is much more susceptible to pests and diseases as compared to other plants.

To prevent the buildup of high salt levels, every month, flush the soil with water until it runs out the bottom.

Troubleshooting

Brown spots on leaves: If the soil is moist this is an indication of excessive watering- Let the soil dry out water your plant only when the topsoil is dry to touch.

Curling and browning leaf edges, Floppy leaves: Indicates underwatering.
