Quick Facts on the Fiddle Leaf Fig:
- Lighting on key for these trees!
- They do best in bright, indirect light! Think of your best-lit space where they are not actually sitting in the sun’s rays.
- Water once the top layer is dry. When you water, allow the water to drain fully out the bottom drainage holes.
- Fiddle Leaf Figs do not like drafts!
- Place these plants away from your vents, or close a nearby vent that is blowing air on your Fiddle.
- Turn your Fiddle Leaf fig, periodically. This is especially true if you have it positioned in a corner where one side is not getting as much light. This will encourage it to grow evenly.
- Wipe down the Leaves of the Fiddle Leaf Fig periodically.
- You can even try a little coconut oil on them for some extra shine.
- Fiddle Leaf Figs are considered toxic to cats and dogs, so keep up and out of reach of curious eaters.
