How to grow a fabulous fiddle leaf fig

Are you the proud plant parent of a fiddle leaf fig? Or perhaps it's next on the wish list... either way, follow these fabulous fiddle leaf fig care tips, and you'll be growing a full, lush, healthy plant, that you can enjoy for years to come.

Pro Tips:

💧The fiddle leaf fig likes its soil to be kept consistently evenly moist, with a brief drying out period between waterings, as it comes from an area of the world that gets very dry between rain. Water it throughly whenever the top 3cm of soil have dried. Allowing the soil to dry more than a few inches will lead to leaf loss, so be sure to check in with the soil regularly until you develop a routine with your plant. In contrast, too much moisture in the soil can lead to root rot and cause leaves to drop.

🌞Choose a location away from air vents and drafts where the tree will receieve plenty of bright ambient light. If you're unsure about your lighting conditions, placing the tree directly next to the window is the safest bet.

🌱Rotate your tree once a month to keep it standing straight and tall. Fiddle leaf figs in particular like t reach towards the light, so if you don't rotate you'll notice them bending over in time.
