Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree
Ficuslyrata. Called "fiddle-leaf fig" because ofthe resemblance of its leaves to those of a fig, lyre or fiddle.
It is an exotic plant from West Africa. Itcan grow upto two metres high.
Recommendations
- The fiddle-leaf fig adapts well to different conditions, even the most adverse.
- This plant is perfect for all types of interiors. Place it in your living room, bedroom, office or even in the bathroom.
- This plant is not suitable for children and pets, its leaves are toxic if swallowed.
Care
- Light: Being a tropical plant, it needs light and good temperature.
- Watering: 2 times per week during the summer months. Always check the humidity level of the soil by touch and add water if it is dry. In winter, watering once a week will suffice.
- Moisture: To keep it moist, simply spray its leaves with a little water from time to time.
- Fertiliser: although this plant does not need to be fertilised frequently, it is advisable to do so during its growth and development period, between the months of March and October. In this way the plant will grow more lush and its beautiful green tones will be brighter and more intense.
What to avoid
- Don't make the mistake of overwatering as this can damage its roots.
- Avoid places with direct light, draughts or excessive cold.
Benefits
- Thanks to its large leaves, which act as filters, the Ficus lyrata is an excellent natural purifier that also cleans toxins out of polluted environments.
- It helps to regulate the level of humidity in the environment, which is very positive for preventing sore throats, coughs and colds.
P.S. The plant may show brown spots on the foliage or drop its leaves. Both characteristics are natural and are part of normal maturation, as long as they do not occur in abundance.
Preguntas frecuentes
Ficus lyrata is highly sensitive to change: it dislikes relocation, draughts, irregular watering and sudden light shifts. It is not delicate from fragility but from low tolerance to environmental stress. Once it finds a fixed, bright spot it is very stable for years.
It is its signature stress response: facing a change of light, temperature or humidity the plant goes defensive and sheds leaves to reduce its load. It usually recovers in a few weeks if the new spot is suitable. Best practice: stop moving it and wait.
Yes. Like all Ficus, it secretes a white latex when cut that is toxic to dogs, cats and horses. It causes oral irritation, vomiting and, on contact with sensitive skin, dermatitis. Keep away from pets that nibble plants.
Yes. In the wild it reaches 12–15 m and indoors can easily pass 3 m given light, space and a large pot. To control size, prune the main stem above a node: a side branch will shoot out, giving a wider shape.
The leaf shape — broad at the tip, narrow in the middle, slightly lobed at the base — recalls the body of a Greek lyre or a violin. Hence 'lyrata' in Latin and the common names 'fiddle-leaf fig' in English and 'higuera de hoja de violín' in Spanish.
It produces small green figs similar to those of common fig trees, but they are not edible for humans: very bitter and fibrous. They only appear on mature specimens in tropical climates; indoors fruiting is virtually impossible.
