Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its lush foliage. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners where growth will stall.
Maintain a moderate watering schedule, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again. It is crucial to ensure the soil is well-draining, as these plants are sensitive to overwatering and root rot.
No, the Fiddle Leaf Fig is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to your pets.
The plant arrives established in a 6-inch container. Please note that the specific style of the pot—whether it is a basket, ceramic, or tin—is subject to availability at the time of your order.
It is classified as having a moderate care level. While it is not a beginner plant, it will thrive for anyone who can provide consistent bright, indirect light and a disciplined watering routine.
