Ficus Fiddle Leaf Fig

Fiddle Leaf Figs have been a popular houseplant for years. They have large, thick, fiddle-shaped green leaves. They are one of the more challenging Ficus varieties, needing bright light, higher humidity, and consistently moist soil that isn't waterlogged. 

Ficus can be finicky; they dislike change and will drop their leaves if their conditions are less than ideal. Even when grown under perfect conditions, they will still drop leaves due to stress or environmental changes. 

Ficus grows best in bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct light once acclimated. The soil should never dry out fully, but also shouldn't be waterlogged and soggy. Wait until the top few inches of soil have dried out before watering.
