Fiddle-Leaf Fig Standard
Best statement piece for enhancing sophisticated interior designs.
The Fiddle-Leaf Fig Standard is a popular houseplant known for its large, striking, lyre-shaped leaves. This plant, scientifically known as Ficus lyrata, is a favorite among decorators and features prominently in home design magazines. It thrives in bright, indirect light, making it ideal for south- or west-facing rooms. While generally easy to care for, it requires moderate humidity and specific watering when the top inch of soil is dry. It's important to note that Ficus species contain toxic sap, so this plant should be kept out of reach of children and pets.

Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its health and leaf color. A south- or west-facing room is ideal, as it provides the necessary brightness without the harsh, direct sun that can scorch the leaves.
You should check the soil regularly and water only when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. It is important not to overwater, as this can lead to root issues.
No, this plant contains toxic sap that can be harmful if ingested. It is best to place it in a location that is completely inaccessible to curious pets and small children.
The Fiddle-Leaf Fig is a versatile grower that can reach a mature height of anywhere between 2 and 10 feet depending on its environment and pot size. Regular pruning can help you manage its size and shape as it matures.
Beyond proper lighting and watering, this plant appreciates moderate humidity levels. If your home is particularly dry, especially during the winter months, you may want to consider using a humidifier or a pebble tray to keep it happy.
