Cornell Farm Fiddle Leaf Fig

This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its health and growth. Place it near a window that gets plenty of natural light, but avoid direct sun, which can scorch the large, violin-shaped leaves.

The key is to let the soil dry out significantly between waterings. Check the top few inches of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. Overwatering is the most common mistake, so ensure the pot has proper drainage.

No, the Fiddle Leaf Fig is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to place this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets, such as on a high plant stand or in a room they do not frequent.

Fiddle Leaf Figs grow naturally in an upright, tree-like form. To keep it symmetrical and straight, rotate the pot every few weeks so all sides receive equal light exposure, which prevents the plant from leaning toward the light source.

Yes, this plant arrives in a 6-inch nursery pot. We recommend keeping it in this container until it is acclimated to your home, then repotting it into a decorative vessel with drainage holes once it begins to outgrow its current space.
