  • LIGHT

    Needs bright, filtered or indirect light. A few hours of direct morning light is good but protect from hot afternoon sun. Will rapidly deteriorate in dim lighting. Keep away from drafts and temps below 60 degrees.

  • WATER

    Water thoroughly and allow to dry out moderately in between waterings. Avoid overwatering. Reduce watering from fall to late winter.

  • TIPS

    • Fiddle-Leaf Figs can live to around 10 years if taken care of properly! Trim to maintain desired shape or height. Cutting the top will force a bushier growth of the plant. Can be trained to be a single trunk tree or bush.
    • Fertilize once a month with a liquid fertilizer. Don't fertilize during winter months.
    • Once a month, thoroughly water the plant to flush out any salts, toxins, or impurities that build up in the soil. Ficus are also sensitive to chemicals.

  • TOXICITY

    Keep out of reach of pets and children. Leaves are toxic if consumed. Avoid exposure to the sap secreted from a freshly cut leaf or stem, may cause skin irritation.
