Fiddle Leaf Fig

Fiddle Fig Leaf

Still the coolest indoor plant in NZ, the tropical Fiddle Leaf Fig – also known as Ficus Lyrata – has large upright veined leaves shaped like a fiddle.

It thrives in a warm location with bright light (one to two hours of morning or evening direct sunlight is OK). Water approximately once a week in winter and twice a week in summer if it is very warm, ensuring the plant doesn’t sit in excess water.  Room temperate water is recommended. Feed with diluted liquid fertiliser every couple of weeks during the warmer months.

A good natural or artificial light source directly above the plant will help keep the leaves pointing upwards.
