Fiddle Leaf Fig

Fiddle Leaf Fig

Ficus lyrata

A West African rainforest tree that has become one of the most popular statement houseplants — large violin-shaped leaves give it its common name. Finicky about change: keep it in consistent bright light, water only when the top two inches are dry, and rotate weekly for even growth. Dislikes drafts and cold windows.
