Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its health and leaf color. Place it near a window with sheer curtains or in a spot where it receives plenty of natural light without the sun's rays hitting the leaves directly, which can cause scorching.
The Fiddle Leaf Fig prefers a moderate watering schedule. Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out completely before watering again, as the plant does not like to sit in soggy soil.
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 Standard form typically features a single, clear trunk with a canopy of leaves at the top, resembling a traditional tree. The Column form is trained to grow more vertically and compactly, making it a better choice for tighter corners or narrower spaces.
The plant arrives in a functional plastic grow pot. While it is ready for display as-is, many owners choose to place the grow pot inside a decorative cachepot or planter to better suit their home decor.
The Fiddle Leaf Fig can be sensitive to environmental changes, such as drafts, temperature fluctuations, or inconsistent watering. Because it requires a specific balance of light and humidity to look its best, it is better suited for those who have some experience with houseplants.
