The leaves are deep green with prominent veining and a smooth, waxy texture. Growth form is upright on a sleek trunk, making it well-suited for floor-standing planters. Indoors, it typically grows 6 to 10 feet tall, though in its native habitat it can reach 60 to 100 feet. Regular leaf cleaning with a damp cloth enhances light absorption and keeps the foliage looking its best.
Ficus lyrata rarely flowers indoors; outdoor specimens may produce small, inconspicuous flowers that develop into fleshy fruits. The plant's folklore suggests its large leaves attract positive energy and promote prosperity and good fortune.
It needs consistent attention to lighting, temperature, and humidity to perform well indoors. The plant is toxic if ingested, so keep it away from curious pets and children. Ficus lyrata works as a statement floor plant in living rooms, offices, and entryways.
Ficus Lyrata 'Fiddle Leaf Fig' grows well in bright, indirect sunlight; plenty of light encourages faster, taller, bushier growth.
Water it when the top 2 to 4 inches of soil feel dry; check weekly and water thoroughly to prevent salt buildup.
Ficus lyrata does best in well-draining soil mixed with perlite; use a planter with at least one drainage hole.
It prefers temperatures between 60 and 85°F and dislikes sudden temperature swings or drafts from heating and cooling vents.
It is hardy in USDA zones 10 to 12, tolerating minimum winter temperatures above 35°F. It grows outdoors year-round in Florida, southern California, Hawaii, and southern Texas, where frost does not occur.

🌿 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.
