Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree Care Guide & Presentation

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree (Ficus Lyrata)

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree: Overview

The gorgeous fiddle leaf fig tree (Ficus lyrata) is a stylish houseplant from the Moraceae family, which includes fruit-bearing mulberry and fig trees. This large plant, native to the tropical rainforests of West Africa, has been prevalent among indoor gardeners for its grand stature, lush foliage, and aesthetic appeal. The Ficus lyrata tree can easily reach over 10ft. indoors if grown in the right conditions. Outdoors, in hardy zones 9-11, you can have your potted fiddle leaf fig as a porch plant but keep it in partial shade. While not the most accessible indoor tree to grow, these spectacular plants can live up to 50 years with the proper care.

Fiddle leaf figs dislike being moved and can react negatively to temperature fluctuations and other environmental variations. Their renowned sensitivity to change makes these beautiful plants tricky for beginners. Another downside of caring for a fiddle leaf fig is that its sap is toxic to touch and if ingested by pets.

There are many ficus plants, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the miniature Ficus Ginseng Bonsai (Ficus microcarpa 'Ginseng') to the tall and lush Weeping Fig Tree (Ficus benjamina).

Ficus Lyrata Benefits

  • Improves air quality and removes toxins from the air
  • It enhances sleep and reduces stress
  • Symbol of luck and abundance in Feng Shui
  • The plant has noise-absorbing properties
  • Aesthetically appealing in any interior space

Fiddle Leaf Fig Care Guide

The fiddle leaf fig is a finicky green beauty requiring extra effort. Provide your glamorous fiddle leaf tree with the ideal growing conditions and watch it thrive, adding a unique charm to your home’s interior!

Watering

It’s crucial to avoid overwatering your plant. Only water your fiddle leaf fig when the top two inches of the soil are dry. You might want a digital moisture meter to show you exactly when to water; the moisture range should be between 3 and 4.

Light, Temperature, and Humidity

Your fiddle leaf fig plant will appreciate a spot with evenly bright, indirect light. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn, but ensure your plant receives at least six hours of bright light daily. These plants grow best in moderately warm temperatures, between 65°F and 85°F. Mist your plant occasionally to increase humidity when needed.

Soil, Repotting, and Fertilizing

Proper fiddle leaf fig care includes choosing the best potting soil mix for your plant. Use well-draining soil to ensure good aeration around the roots. Repot your Ficus lyrata into a new, slightly larger pot every year, preferably during spring. Trim any damaged roots and use fresh, well-draining soil. Fertilize your fiddle leaf fig tree with a balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season.

Propagation

It’s easy to propagate your fiddle leaf fig from stem cuttings by placing them in a jar with filtered water. Change the water regularly until you see tiny roots growing. You can also root the cuttings in the soil. Air-layering is another propagation method that works for Ficus lyrata plants.

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues

 

A large fiddle leaf fig may require pruning occasionally to remove damaged leaves and encourage branching. Wipe the plant’s leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Common fiddle leaf fig issues include drooping and yellow leaves as a reaction against sudden changes in the plant’s environment, browning leaf tips from underwatering and sunburn, and root rot due to overwatering.

    Great!

    I was worried because the plant came in a damaged/open box. She was in great condition! I was so impressed I ordered another plant.

    It's fine

    Very easy service which delivered a healthy plant to my door.

    That said, paying $100 for an 'XL' plant that only comes up to my knee is slightly misleading. If you're looking for large plants, find a local plant store. It'll definitely be better value for money
