Ficus Lyrata ‘Fiddle Leaf Fig’ – Various sizes 

Stately, slow-growing, evergreen tree with large, paper-like leaves in the shape of a fiddle. Ficus Lyrata Fiddle Leaf Fig requires a lot of natural light but no direct sunlight (it will scorch the leaves). Pot can be placed in a tray of rocks with a small amount of water to create the humidity they thrive on. Misting the foliage with tepid water will also benefit the plant. Do not place Ficus Lyrata in draught prone positions. Moderate water requirements. Keep moist during the warmer months and fully dry out between watering during the colder months. Do not let the plant sit in water for extended periods of time.

Handy Growing Tips:
If you have heating units or air-conditioners, it is best to avoid placing plants underneath or next to them. This is because the air blowing out from these units can be very hot and dry, leaving a healthy plant burnt, damaged, and stressed.

How to use plants in a living space:
Using plants with fun decorative foliage is one of the fastest ways to add some interest to home design. The same thing can be said for the pot they are going to live in. Choosing a fun coloured pot paired with a predominantly green plant can add that splash of colour or texture to a room. Also, think about the textures of the plant’s foliage. A plant with soft fern-like foliage will help to soften a space, whereas one with more robust, stiff foliage can add structure and height.

Planting Tips:
When growing plants in pots, make sure the container selected is large enough to accommodate the plant’s roots, which is going to be planted. Never pot a plant into a container that is too small. Use a premium quality potting mix and add a few handfuls of vermiculite, thus creating the perfect soil medium for tropical plants. Almost all indoor plants require well-draining soil, especially during cooler weather, and growing in soil that helps keep their roots moist during summer. Depending on the plants chosen, the soil medium might vary. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are unsure.
