FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

The Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata) is an evergreen tree within the mulberry and fig family (Moraceae). Native to the lowland tropical rainforests of West Africa, it is grown globally as a popular indoor houseplant, prized for its large, heavily veined, leathery leaves that closely resemble the shape of a fiddle or violin.

What is a Fiddle Leaf Fig?

Fiddle Leaf Figs require consistent, bright, indirect sunlight to thrive and can benefit from a few hours of direct sunlight as they mature. Place your plant directly next to an east-facing window, or a few feet back from a sunny south or west-facing window. Grow lights can be used if natural lighting isn't enough!

How much light does a Fiddle Leaf Fig need?

Water your Fiddle Leaf Fig only when 5--75% of the soil has dried out during the spring and summer months, and completely dried out during the winter. Drench the soil thoroughly until water drains out of the bottom of the pot, then empty the drainage saucer after 5-10 minutes.

How often should you water a Fiddle Leaf Fig?

Leaf drop is usually triggered by environmental shock, lack of light, inconsistent waterings, or drafts. Fiddle Leaf Figs hate change! If you recently moved the plant to a new room, brought it home from the nursery, or placed it near a drafty window or heating vent, it may shed healthy green leaves. If the dropped leaves have dark brown centers, it is dropping them due to inconsistent waterings.

Why is my Fiddle Leaf Fig dropping leaves?

To force a single-stemmed Fiddle Leaf Fig to branch out and form a tree-like canopy, you can simply cut the top off the plant by making a clean cut at an internode (space between two leaves). Cutting off the top growing tip (the terminal bud) during the spring growth season breaks the plant’s apical dominance. This signals the trunk to push out two to three new branches right below the cut!
