One of the most dramatic trees you can grow as an indoor plant, Ficus lyrata (also known as fiddle leaf fig) features big, bold foliage. The leaves have a thick, almost leathery texture that makes a bold statement as a part of your décor. Relatively slow growing, this bushy plant will eventually grow into multiple trunks you can train or prune to personalize your look. This Ficus lyrata is grown and shipped fresh from our farm direct to your front door.
- Big leaves create visual contrast other more common houseplants
- Make sure it has lots of bright light to keep it happy
- Can grow 8 feet tall or more indoors over time
Care Guide
Light Level: Direct Sunlight
This plant loves direct sunlight. Place it by a window or on a porch that gets direct, natural light for at least a portion of the day.
Water Level: Thirsty
This plant can only go 1-2 weeks without water so check on it weekly and add water every time the top two inches of soil dry out.
Quick Tips
Like many houseplants, fiddle leaf fig would rather be too dry than too wet, so if you’re unsure about whether it needs water, wait a day or two before checking again.
