The Fiddle Leaf Fig is a striking indoor plant with glossy, violin-shaped leaves that add tropical charm to any space. Native to Africa, it thrives in warm, humid conditions with bright, indirect light. Water weekly, about one cup per two feet of height, and avoid direct sun, drafts, or A/C vents. Prune in spring or summer, wipe leaves to remove dust, and fertilize every six months. Use well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes, and re-pot as needed. Though toxic to pets, it’s a favorite for plant lovers and grows well indoors or in USDA zones 9-11. Rotate for even growth and enjoy its bold, lush look!
