Fiddle Leaf Fig Live Tree - Ficus Lyrata - Beautiful Florist Quality Indoor Houseplant

Here’s one plant that for the last several years has been gracing the covers and spreads of magazines across the country, not just because it’s a beauty but also because it makes the perfect indoor specimen: the fiddle-leaf fig. Tall, columnar and sculptural but not bushy for those tight corners. Big violin-shaped leaves (hence the name) that lend dramatic structure. Waxy dark green foliage that forms a perfect contrast with light, neutral walls and furnishings. What’s not to like, right? The fiddle-leaf fig, Ficus lyrata, is a tough plant that adapts easily to conditions. Once acclimated, it can grow to 6 feet or taller. Water your fig tree when only the top inch of soil is dry. Test this by sticking your finger in the soil. Pretty soon you'll figure out about how often you need to water. Keep in mind that this may fluctuate based on seasonal humidity, etc. Keep your fiddle leaf fig in bright, indirect light. In other words, you want it to have a lot of light, but not sunbeams falling directly on it. Fertilize once a month during growing seasons, but not in winter.
