Ficus Lyrata

Fiddle Leaf Fig

Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the fiddle-leaf fig, is a species of flowering plant in the mulberry and fig family Moraceae.

It is native to western Africa, from Cameroon west to Sierra Leone, where it grows in lowland tropical rainforests.

It can grow up to 40'-50' tall.

Water your Ficus about once a week, or every 10 days.

Keep moist, but don't allow it to sit in water, or it will drop leaves and suffer from root rot.

As mentioned above, Ficus lyrata are native to a rainforest-like environment, which means they're used to receiving a huge deluge of water with dry spells in between.

The ideal humidity for a Fiddle Leaf Fig is between 30% to 65%.

You may need to supplement your plant with extra humidity by misting it or providing a humidifier.

Avoid placing your Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree indoors near a heater vent, which can dry out your plant.

Ficus lyrata require bright, filtered light.

They can even tolerate some sun, especially if placed in an eastern-facing window.

Ficus that are kept too dark will fail to grow rapidly.
