Ficus Lyrata
Commonly known as the fiddle leaf fig, this plant captivates with its large, glossy leaves, making it a statement admired for its aesthetic and air-purifying qualities. Find care instructions below:
Light: Ficus lyrata require bright, filtered light. They can even tolerate some sun, especially if placed in an eastern-facing window. Plants that are kept too dark will fail to grow rapidly. Water: Keep moist, but don't allow it to sit in water, or it will likely drop leaves and suffer from root rot.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist at all times. (about 2-3x per week) Do not overwater or leave plant sitting in water. Repotting -Change dirt and transplant to a a larger pot annually. This plant naturally wants to become large, and therefore needs both special height and room for roots to extend.
Repot: The planter you choose should be 2-3 inches bigger than your root ball (with good drainage…in case you didn't catch that). Typically, when repotting that just means to move one size up in a pot. So if you have a 10″ pot, move up to a 12″ pot. Fill your planter 1/3 full of potting soil.
