The Fiddle Leaf Fig is a striking indoor plant known for its large, glossy, violin-shaped leaves. This plant adds a dramatic touch to any interior with its bold and architectural presence. It's a favorite among plant enthusiasts for its beauty and air-purifying qualities.
Light Needs: Fiddle Leaf Figs require bright, indirect light to thrive. Place your plant near a sunny window where it can get plenty of filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure, which can scorch the leaves, and low-light conditions, which can stunt its growth.
Water Needs: Water your Fiddle Leaf Fig when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure even moisture without overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Use a pot with good drainage and empty the saucer of any excess water to prevent the roots from sitting in water.
Humidity Needs: Fiddle Leaf Figs prefer moderate to high humidity levels. Aim for humidity around 40-60%. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water (ensuring the pot is above the water line).
