TheOddFrond Ficus Lyrata Fig

This plant thrives in bright, filtered light. Place it near a window where it can see the sky but isn't hit by harsh, direct sunbeams, which can scorch the leaves.

Plan to water 2-3 times per week, but always check the soil first. The top inch of soil should feel slightly dry to the touch before you add more water to prevent over-saturation.

Yes, it is designed to be straightforward for those new to plant care. As long as you maintain consistent light and moisture levels, it is a resilient and rewarding specimen.

It is happiest in temperatures between 55°F and 85°F. Keep it away from drafty windows, air conditioning vents, or heaters, as sudden temperature fluctuations can cause leaf drop.

The plant comes in a 6-inch pot, which is a standard size for this starter tree. You can keep it in its original container for several months while it acclimates to your home before considering an upgrade.

Fiddle Leaf Figs tend to lean toward their light source. To encourage vertical, symmetrical growth, rotate the pot a quarter-turn every time you water it.
