Ficus Lyrata - Fiddle Leaf Fig

Ficus lyrata, commonly called the Fiddle Leaf Fig, is celebrated for its striking, large, violin-shaped green leaves and elegant upright growth. Perfect for bright, warm conditions, this plant brings a bold and sophisticated touch to any home. Its lush foliage makes it ideal for creating a focal point in a well-lit corner or near an eastern-facing window where it can enjoy soft, filtered light.

The Fiddle Leaf Fig thrives with a moderate amount of soil moisture, but careful watering is key. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings, as overwatering can lead to leaf drop and root rot, while under-watering may cause wilting and dulling of its vibrant green leaves. It prefers a warm, bright environment and will flourish with occasional morning sun while avoiding harsh, direct afternoon rays that could scorch its foliage.

Indoors, this stunning plant can grow up to 2–3 metres tall, with a narrow spread of around 60–90 cm. Its grand, architectural form and lush foliage make it an iconic choice for modern interiors, adding height and drama to any space.
