Fiddle Leaf Fig
Common Name: Fiddle Leaf Fig
Botanical Name: Ficus Lyrata
Availability: In Stock
Ficus Lyrata is one of the easiest plants that can be grown in the house. This imposing fig has a single stem with large, glossy, bright green violin-shaped leaves of upto 12 inches in length. It looks striking in a large room, though it will need to be firmly staked while growing. As a house plant it will reach a substantial 20 ft if it has good light and warm conditions, similar to those it enjoys in its native habitat. It will withstand central heating, but does not like droughts. The foliage must be kept dust-free and leaves should ne sponged individually with tepid water. Trim the new shoots occasionally to thicken the plant. It should not need pruning except to reduce growth. It is a sensitive plant, so if a leaf or stem is damaged or torn, cover the “wound” with petroleum jelly to seal it. Ficus Lyrata has been a popular houseplant since the eighties and should live for upto 12 years.
