Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a south or west-facing window with a sheer curtain is ideal to ensure it gets enough light to support its variegation without scorching the leaves.
No, the Ficus Lyrata is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a room or on a high shelf that is inaccessible to cats and dogs.
Water your plant thoroughly only when the top inch or two of the potting medium feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
We recommend waiting. The plant needs a brief acclimation period to adjust to the light and humidity levels of your home before you subject it to the stress of repotting.
This Ficus prefers a stable environment between 65-85°F. Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or direct heat sources to prevent leaf drop.
