Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree
About:
8" Pot
The Fiddle Leaf Fig is easily recognizable and loved for its distinctive foliage. This tall, dramatic plant has very large, heavily veined, violin-shaped leaves that grow upright. It’s not bushy, making it a beautiful interior design addition for a brightly lit corner or cozy nook in your home.
Native to the tropic climate of Western Africa, the Fiddle Leaf Fig thrives in very warm, bright, and humid conditions. This can make them somewhat challenging to grow indoors, but luckily they are relatively tough and can withstand less than perfect conditions.
Location:
Choose a room that’s big and bright, like a great room, sun room, large foyer, or atrium. This indoor tree needs plenty of elbow and ceiling room to accommodate its eventual size and to show off the spectacular leaves.
Light:Locate near an east or south-facing window with bright indirect or brightly filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
Temperature:Fiddle leaf is very sensitive to temperature fluctuations, so place it in a warm room (60° to 85° F) away from drafts and heating and air conditioning vents. Do not buy your plant in the winter (or anytime the outdoor temperature dips below 50° F), so it won’t be exposed to the cold when bringing it home.
Humidity:The best gift you can give your fiddle-leaf is a humidifier because it prefers jungle-like, above-average moisture levels. If the air in your home is dry, mist the leaves occasionally or place a small humidifier nearby.
Soil:Use a good all-purpose potting mix that drains well.
Watering:From spring to fall, water when the top inch of the soil feels dry; water more sparingly during winter.
Fertilizing:Fertilize during the active growing season (spring through fall) with a high-nitrogen foliage plant food that includes micronutrients.
