The leaves are broad, violin-shaped, and deep green with prominent veining. It grows upright with a single main trunk, reaching heights of 6 to 10 feet indoors, though growth can be slower or faster depending on light and humidity. The foliage is dense and substantial, requiring a heavy pot to anchor the plant and prevent tipping.
Ficus Lyrata produces small green flowers that rarely appear indoors and are not ornamentally significant. The plant filters formaldehyde and other toxins from the environment.
This tropical plant needs high humidity and is sensitive to temperature swings from air conditioning or heating units, so placement away from vents and drafts is important. Ficus Lyrata is sensitive to being moved and may drop leaves if relocated frequently, so choose its location with care. You can move it outside for summer months if temperatures stay above 50°F, though it needs cover from rain and direct afternoon sun. The plant grows slowly indoors over several years. It should be kept on a high shelf out of reach of cats and dogs, as the sap causes skin and paw irritation, and it is best placed away from small children.
Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree grows well in direct sun or bright indirect light but adapts to low-light conditions, though growth slows noticeably. Rotate it regularly for even growth on all sides.
Water it when the soil surface is dry, typically every 10-14 days during active growth in spring and summer, extending intervals in winter as growth naturally slows.
Ficus Lyrata does best in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil such as a mix of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark to prevent root rot.
It prefers temperatures between 60°F and 75°F and is sensitive to sudden temperature changes or exposure to cold drafts below 55°F.
It is hardy in USDA zones 11 and 12, where it grows outdoors year-round without frost protection. It tolerates no freezing temperatures and must be brought indoors or protected if temperatures drop below 50°F. It grows outdoors in southern Florida, southern California, Hawaii, and parts of coastal Texas where winter freezes are rare or absent.

Q: How often should I water Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree?
A: Check the soil surface; water when dry. During spring and summer, this typically means watering every 10-14 days; in winter, extend the intervals as growth slows.
Q: Will it survive if I move it frequently?
A: Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree is sensitive to being moved and often drops leaves when relocated, so pick a stable spot away from heating and air conditioning vents and leave it there.
Q: Can Ficus Lyrata handle low light?
A: It adapts to low-light conditions but growth slows considerably; place it within 3 feet of a window facing north or east for better results, or move it to a brighter spot for faster development.
Q: Is it safe around pets?
A: No. The sap causes skin and paw irritation, so wash your hands after handling and keep it on a high shelf out of reach of cats and dogs.
Q: How do I propagate Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree?
A: Stem cuttings root best in water or moist soil when taken in spring; each cutting needs at least one node, and rooting typically takes 4-6 weeks in warm, humid conditions.
Q: Does Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree purify indoor air?
A: Yes. It filters formaldehyde and other toxins from the air, improving indoor air quality over time, though the improvement is gradual and most effective in rooms with moderate air circulation.

🌿 For Houseplants
When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
*** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
