Ficus Lyrata - Fiddle Tree Thick Stem

Caring for a fiddle leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) involves several key practices:

1. Light: Place in bright, indirect sunlight. They thrive in well-lit spaces but can suffer from direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.
2. Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Ensure good drainage, as fiddle leaf figs do not like sitting in water.
3. Humidity: They prefer higher humidity. Consider misting the leaves or using a humidity tray, especially in dry indoor conditions.
4. Temperature: Keep them in a warm environment, ideally between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Avoid cold drafts.
5. Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks.
6. Pruning: Trim dead or damaged leaves to promote healthy growth and shape the plant.
7. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the roots outgrow the pot, using fresh potting soil.
8. Pests: Regularly check for pests like spider mites or mealybugs and treat them promptly.

With proper care, your fiddle leaf fig can thrive and become a beautiful addition to your space.
