9GreenBox - Fiddle Leafed Fig, Ficus lyrata - 4inch Pot

The Ficus lyrata, commonly called the fiddle-leaf fig is native to West Africa. The leaves can grow up to twelve inches long. Outdoors, they can produce flowers and fruits. It is also a perfect indoor specimen plant. The plant features very large, heavily veined, and violin-shaped leaves that grow upright on a tall plant. These plants are native to the tropics, where they thrive in very warm and wet conditions. This makes them somewhat more challenging for the home grower, who is likely to have trouble duplicating these steamy conditions, but they are fortunately relatively tough plants also that can withstand less-than-perfect conditions for a fairly long time. Use a mixture of potting soil, bark and perlite to ensure quick drainage. Warning: poisonous to dogs, cats and horses if ingested.
