Plant Ficus Lyrata

Description

Ficus lyrata, commonly called the fiddle-leaf fig, is a perfect indoor plant.
The plant has very large, strongly veined, violin-shaped leaves that grow upright.

These plants are native to the tropics, where they thrive in warm, humid conditions.

Tips: this plant does not like to be turned or moved frequently. Place the plant permanently and keep it clean by dusting it with an old T-shirt. Stake it and prune it if necessary. Ficus lyrata will only keep leaves that face the light; leaves facing a wall or darker corner will not last. Expect your ficus to lose its leaves if you move or reposition the plant.

Light: Ficus lyrata requires bright, filtered light. They can even tolerate some sun, especially if placed in an east-facing window. Plants that are kept too dark will not be able to grow quickly.

Water: keep moist, but do not let it rest in water or it will drop leaves and suffer from root rot.
