Know before you buy
This plant needs bright, indirect light to maintain its health. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight is ideal, as direct, harsh sun can scorch the large leaves.
No, the Fiddleleaf Fig is not pet-safe. It contains insoluble calcium oxalates, which can cause irritation and discomfort if ingested by cats or dogs.
Water your plant when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. It is important to ensure the pot has proper drainage, as these plants do not like to sit in soggy soil.
While it originates from tropical environments, the Fiddleleaf Fig can adapt to standard household humidity levels. However, it will appreciate an occasional misting or a spot in a room with slightly higher humidity, like a bright bathroom.
Indoors, the Fiddleleaf Fig can grow quite tall, often reaching 6 to 10 feet depending on the size of its container and the available light. You can manage its height and shape through periodic pruning.
