Ficus Lyrata | Fiddle Leaf Fig

Light:

• Grows best in bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate some gentle morning sun but avoid harsh midday or afternoon sun which may scorch the leaves.

Water:

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.

• Ensure good drainage; do not leave soil soggy as this can cause root rot.

Soil:

• Prefers a well-draining, chunky mix (peat, perlite, bark or coco chips).

• Always plant in a pot with drainage holes.

Feeding:

• Use a balanced water-soluble fertilizer every 3–4 weeks.

• Flush soil occasionally to prevent salt build-up.

Pruning:

• Remove yellow or damaged leaves at the base.

• Can be pruned to control height or encourage branching.

General Tips:

• Rotate the plant regularly for even growth.

• Keep away from strong drafts (like directly under AC).

• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them healthy.
