Top Tip
Ficus Lyrata
Thin Stem Fiddle-Leaf Fig Tree
The Fiddle-leaf Fig tree with a slender stem, and large head, that strikes an interesting balance.
These specimens deserve pride of place in a high-ceilinged home, or for public enjoyment in shops, restaurants, offices and hotels - of which we have supplied some of the best.
Our large rattan baskets make a wonderful home for the nursery growing pot to be placed inside.
Best space & place
This ficus, like most others is happiest situated in indirect bright light. It is happy in most rooms, with a minimum temperature of 12°C. It does not like draughts and this can cause the leaves to discolour.
When to water & feed
Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Apply a general purpose houseplant feed like in the summer months. Reduce watering in winter.
Need to know
The leaves benefit from a damp wipe from time to time to remove dust, facilitate more light transmission, and keep looking glossy. They can lose leaves when settling in but they are soon replaced. Read our 'Ficus Lyrata' Care Guide.
