Ficus Lyrata ‘Fiddle Tree’ 2.8 meters

Fiddle leaf figs (Ficus lyrata) are popular indoor plants known for their large, glossy leaves. Here are some key tips for their care:

1. Light: They thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, while too little light can cause them to drop leaves.
2. Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, but avoid letting the plant sit in water, which can lead to root rot.
3. Humidity: Fiddle leaf figs prefer higher humidity levels. If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant.
4. Temperature: They enjoy temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Avoid placing them near air conditioners.
5. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
6. Pruning: Trim off any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and to encourage new growth.
7. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that's 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one.

By following these guidelines, your fiddle leaf fig should thrive and add a touch of greenery to your space.
