Fiddle leaf fig (Ficus lyrata)

The fiddle leaf fig is an instagram plant fave and great decor for a boring corner. With its glossy, dark leaves, it acts as an extra statement piece to any room.

Light: Place it in a well-lit spot where it will receive indirect lighting all day long.

Water: Keep the soil moist, but let at least 1 inch of soil dry out before watering again. During the summer it requires more frequent watering. 

Pet friendly: No. It’s toxic if cats or dogs ingest it.

Plant parent level: Intermediate. The fiddle leaf fig can be quite the diva.

Pro tip: This plant loves it some humidity so giving it a good mist keeps it happy.
