You can also trim or snap off leaves that have run their course. This will reduce the size of the plant and promote new growth from the point where the cut was made. If that’s not your style, and you want to maintain the plant’s height and girth, pruning cuts can be made just above any node (aka – right about a where a leaf attaches to a stem). Many Fiddle Leaf Fig fans love to let this plant grow in all sorts of funky shapes. For spots where something else (besides dust) has landed on your plant, use a mild soapy solution to wet the cloth then wipe. Simply wiping the leaves with a wet cloth usually does the trick. Here’s one of the greatest benefits of this plant – its large leaves are easy to clean and, overall, there are fewer leaves than many other interior plants. Please refer to our nutrient guide for details. Keep an eye on the newer leaves – not the emerging ones if the new leaves are yellow and the veins prevalent, it is possible it needs some nutrients. If your Lyrata is positioned on a porch in the south, it may need supplemental nutrition sooner than 12 months. After 12 months, it can be fed quarterly with a complete fertilizer formulated for interior plants.

During this time, it will use the residual nutrients from nursery production. The Fiddle Leaf Fig likely will not need to be fed during the first 6 months after it has shipped.

If you want a good, sustainable indoor plant and don’t have good light, this is not the plant for you – unless you’re up for moving it for frequent trips to better lit areas. It can also thrive in a room with strong ambient light.

This plant is a moderate to heavy drinker, and can go for 2+ weeks without watering with the proper sub-irrigation system, but we suggest you check it weekly during the first 6-8 weeks after you get it and during hot summer months.

This plant is so trendy, it’s called the “it” plant – and the “it” has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with style.
