Ficus Lyrata Fiddle Leaf Fig – Green
Plant description
Ficus lyrata (Fiddle Leaf Fig), branched is a structured indoor plant with broad, violin-shaped leaves and a woody, multi-stem form. This plant is supplied in a Ø27 cm grow pot and measures approximately 120 cm in height at delivery. The branched trunk gives a fuller silhouette than a single-stem ficus, making it well suited for calm, modern interiors where you want greenery with clear lines.
The leaves are thick and slightly glossy with visible veining, held on sturdy stems that create an upright, architectural shape. Like all live plants, each specimen will vary slightly in branching and leaf placement, and minor natural markings on leaves can occur. With stable placement and consistent care, Ficus lyrata develops into a long-lived indoor tree that can be shaped over time.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Tolerates medium light but grows best near a window with filtered sun. Avoid harsh midday sun directly on the leaves.
- Watering routine: Water thoroughly when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Let excess water drain away; do not leave the pot standing in water.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity. Average indoor humidity is usually sufficient; occasional misting or a humidifier helps in very dry homes.
- Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 15°C.

Placement in the home
Place your Ficus lyrata where it receives steady daylight—such as a bright living room corner, beside a sofa, or near a dining area window. The branched structure works well where you want volume without a wide footprint, for example next to a hallway console or in a home office. Rotate the pot slightly every couple of weeks for even growth, and choose a heavier decorative planter if you want extra stability at this height.
Care tips
Ficus lyrata responds best to routine. Keep it in one consistent spot, as frequent moving can cause leaf drop. Wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and support efficient photosynthesis—especially in winter. If new leaves are small or growth stalls, increase light exposure and consider feeding with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during spring and summer. Prune lightly to maintain shape; cutting above a leaf node encourages branching.
