Top Tip
Ficus Lyrata
Fiddle-Leaf Fig Bush
Need to know
A column of green gorgeousness, this bush form of the famous fiddle-leaf is great as a single plant, but can also create an indoor screen, to break-up spaces. The bush form is available in a double stem, and a triple stem, offering choice of density and height. This Ficus Lyrata evergreen bush also available in tree form gives a beautiful foil to any room.
The 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.
Pollutant Absorption Credentials
The Fiddle Leaf Fig has been shown to help remove benzene, formaldehyde and ammonia. Ammonia is often used in cleaning products because it's good at breaking down grease, and because it because it evaporates quickly, leaving surfaces streak-free. Unfortunately, that also means it ends up in the air.
