Complete Care Guide for Ficus Lyrata (Fiddle Leaf Fig)

Ficus Lyrata, commonly known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig, is a popular and striking houseplant with large, glossy leaves resembling a fiddle or violin. To ensure your Ficus Lyrata thrives indoors, follow this comprehensive care guide.

Light:

• Bright, Indirect Light: Place your Fiddle Leaf Fig in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. Adequate light is essential for robust growth and leaf development.

Temperature:

• Warm Temperatures: Maintain temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations. Fiddle Leaf Figs thrive in warm and stable conditions.

Humidity:

• Moderate Humidity: While adaptable to typical indoor humidity, occasional misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray can provide a boost, especially during dry periods.

Watering:

• Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Soil:

• Well-Draining Mix: Plant Ficus Lyrata in a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture. A blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

Container:

• Adequate Drainage: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Repot the plant when it outgrows its container, typically every 1-2 years.

Fertilizing:

• Balanced Liquid Fertilizer: Feed your Fiddle Leaf Fig with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter.

Pruning:

• Maintenance Pruning: Trim any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance. Prune to shape and control size. Fiddle Leaf Figs can grow tall, and pruning encourages bushier growth.

Propagation:

• Stem Cuttings: Propagate Ficus Lyrata through stem cuttings. Root cuttings in water or a well-draining soil mix. Maintain a warm and humid environment during the rooting phase.

Caution:

• Toxicity: Ficus Lyrata is toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.

Pest Management:

• Regular Inspection: Monitor for pests such as spider mites and scale. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Wipe the leaves regularly to prevent dust buildup.

By following these care instructions, you’ll provide the optimal conditions for your Ficus Lyrata, allowing it to flourish and showcase its impressive foliage.
