Ficus lyrata 'Little Fiddle' standard form 14"

$324
Ficus Lyrata, commonly known as the "Fiddle Leaf Fig", is the perfect indoor specimen plant. If you ever wanted a Fiddle Leaf Fig but with smaller leaves and a more compact shape, the "Little Fiddle" is for you. This dwarf version stays rather small, only growing to 3 feet tall and wide, making it a perfect addition to bright desks, tabletops, and window sills. Although it won't provide you with an edible fig, it still has a lot to give by way of stature. Natively grown in lowland tropical rainforests. Leaves can vary in shape between plants but mostly resemble, you guessed it — a fiddle. This plant has been trained in to a standard tree form with a single trunk. 
  • Light - full to part sun
  • Watering - dry down 20-25%
  • Soil - potting mix

    Ficus lyrata 

    AKA:  “Fiddle Leaf Ficus”


    LIGHTING: Ficus lyrata prefer at least a  few hours of direct sun, or all-day  filtered direct sunlight. They do not thrive in low-light conditions and can burn if they get too much direct sun.


    WATERING:  Water only when the top 15-20% of the soil feels dry, but it’s a good habit to at least check once a week, though it may not need water every week. When it is time to add water, add just enough to evenly moisten the soil without the soil becoming soggy or water-logged.


    ENVIRONMENT: Prefers a warm and humid environment with plenty of light. Do not place it near an excessively drafty window or close to AC units or heat sources. Misting can be beneficial in the winter if the air is drier, as can a humidifier nearby. Focus misting when needed on new growth when emerging to prevent distorted leaves.

     

    TOXICITY:  Toxic to cats and dogs. Not necessarily poisonous, just not edible. 


    HELPFUL HINTS:

    • If the leaves begin to droop and become floppy, it probably means the plant needs water.
    • Fertilize gently once in the spring and a few times throughout the summer. Once a year, add a fresh top layer of nutrient-rich soil. 
    Ficus do not like frequent environmental changes; allow it to settle in one spot.
