The Fiddle-leaf Fig is not only an instagram star, but a horticultural one. This tough & tall growing indoor tree makes an architectural statement in any room.
The thick clear stem - with majestic deep brown detailed bark - branches out beautifully to hold large luscious green leaves that can grow larger than your head.
Our favourite feature plant in a simple but crafted pot. For natural country chic try our rattan baskets, if you're more organic modernism, then terracotta is a making great strides indoors, or for simple modern shapes, you won't go wrong with our contemporary range.
The single stem fiddle-leaf is also our go to plant for plantscaping, giving a strong and tall focal point to then arrange plants descending in size. Pair with palms for tropical flair, or other ficus for lush backdrops.
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
