Ficus Lyrata - Fiddle Leaf | Statement Indoor Plant NZ

Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig, is a striking indoor plant with large, glossy, fiddle-shaped leaves. Its upright growth and generous foliage make it a beautiful feature plant for bright living spaces, offices and larger corners that need a little greenery.

Available in a 17cm nursery pot in two approximate heights, 40cm and 55cm.

The 17cm nursery pot refers to the diameter of the pot the plant is growing in. The overall plant height is approximately 40cm or 55cm depending on the option selected. Individual plants can vary slightly in height, shape and fullness.

Plant Care

Fiddle Leaf Figs prefer a bright, stable position and don't particularly enjoy being moved around. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away.

Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet, and make sure your plant isn't sitting in excess water. Give the large leaves an occasional gentle wipe to remove dust and keep them looking their best.

Make It Complete

Plants are sold in their nursery pots, with cover pots available separately. Choose a simple, substantial cover pot to complement the Fiddle Leaf's larger foliage and create a finished look.
