Ficus Lyrata – Green, Ceramic Pot, Black

Ficus lyrata (fiddle-leaf fig) is a compact live indoor plant with bold, violin-shaped leaves and an upright growth habit. This set is delivered at an approximate height of 30 cm in a Ø12 cm nursery pot, placed inside the included Beau decorative pot in black (D14 x H13 cm). It’s a clean, architectural choice for Scandinavian interiors where you want greenery with clear structure rather than trailing foliage.

The plant’s thick, leathery leaves are a deep green with visible veining and gently wavy edges. In this smaller size it works well on shelves, sideboards, and desks, while still giving the recognisable look of a fiddle-leaf fig. The Beau pot adds a calm, grounded base with a subtle ribbed texture and a matte look that pairs easily with light woods, stone, and neutral textiles.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates some gentle morning sun, but avoid harsh midday sun which can scorch leaves.
• Watering routine: Water when the top 2–4 cm of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away. Avoid keeping the root ball constantly wet.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity. If indoor air is dry (especially in winter), mist occasionally or wipe leaves with a damp cloth.
• Temperature range: Best at 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts, radiators, and sudden temperature swings.

Growth and characteristics

• Plant species: Ficus lyrata
• Approx. size at delivery: ↕30 cm (measured including the nursery pot)
• Leaf type: Large, leathery, violin-shaped leaves with pronounced veins
• Growth speed: Moderate in good light; slower in lower light

Placement in the home

Place your Ficus lyrata where it receives steady daylight without strong direct sun—near a bright window with a sheer curtain, on a hallway console with good ambient light, or on a desk in a well-lit room. Rotate the pot a quarter turn every couple of weeks for even growth and a balanced silhouette. Because this plant dislikes drafts, keep it away from frequently opened exterior doors and cold window gaps.

Care tips

For reliable results, aim for a consistent routine: water only when the surface soil dries, and always let excess water drain. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust—clean leaves absorb light better and look noticeably fresher. If a lower leaf yellows occasionally, it’s often part of normal growth; multiple yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering or too little light.
