Ficus lyrata variegated 'Fiddle Leaf Fig' is one of the most popular houseplants with its large, glossy, dark green & white variegated, heavily veined leaves, in the shape of a fiddle - hence the name.  Needs regular pruning to maintain shape and promote branching. Over time, container grown plants can reach 10-12' and taller but can easily be kept much smaller to make an attractive statement plant. Much slower growing compared to the traditional green Fiddle Leaf Fig.

~Although drought tolerant, do not allow your Ficus to dry out too much. In general, Ficus should be kept slightly moist during the growing season. Water when the top 2" of soil are dry. They do not like wet feet, so if 30 minutes after watering you see water in the saucer, pour it away. 

~ Ficus prefer medium to bright light & can even be acclimated to grow in full sun. Do not place in low light areas.

~Do Not place in drafty areas or under/near an air vent. Unless temperature & humidity are high, drafts or cold air may cause Ficus to drop their lower leaves.
