Tree Ficus Lyrata, Type 8A, 18LP

Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the Fiddle-Leaf Fig, is one of the most popular and stylish houseplants due to its dramatic, violin-shaped leaves and its ability to add height and greenery to any indoor space. Native to the tropical rainforests of West Africa, this plant has become a favorite in modern interiors because of its striking foliage and sculptural form.

Characteristics:
Foliage: The most notable feature of Ficus lyrata is its large, leathery, and glossy leaves that can grow up to 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) long. The leaves are shaped like a fiddle or violin, with a broad middle that tapers at the base and tip. The veins of the leaves are prominent, and they have a deep green color.
Growth Habit: In its natural environment, Ficus lyrata can grow up to 15 meters (50 feet) tall, but as a houseplant, it typically reaches 1.5 to 3 meters (5-10 feet) indoors. It grows upright with a single trunk or multiple trunks if cultivated as a bush. When grown indoors, it is often trained to have a tree-like appearance.
Flowers: Fiddle-Leaf Figs rarely bloom indoors. In its natural habitat, the plant produces small, greenish, insignificant flowers, but it is cultivated mainly for its ornamental leaves.
Growing Conditions:
Light: Ficus lyrata thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially morning light, but too much direct sunlight can cause leaf burn. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal. It can also adapt to medium light, but growth may slow, and leaves may become smaller.
Watering: Water the plant when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry. It prefers evenly moist soil but does not like sitting in water. Be cautious not to overwater, as Ficus lyrata is sensitive to root rot. Yellowing leaves are often a sign of overwatering, while brown edges can indicate underwatering.
Soil: Use well-draining potting soil, ideally a mix formulated for houseplants or a combination of peat, perlite, and bark to ensure good aeration and drainage.
Temperature: Ficus lyrata prefers temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid placing it in areas with cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, or near air conditioning vents.
Humidity: The plant thrives in environments with moderate to high humidity. If the air is dry, especially in winter, mist the leaves occasionally or place the plant on a humidity tray to prevent the edges from browning.
Care and Maintenance:
Fertilizing: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.
Pruning: Prune Ficus lyrata to maintain its desired shape. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves, and trim the top if you want to control the plant’s height. Pruning also encourages branching, leading to a fuller appearance.
Repotting: Repot the Fiddle-Leaf Fig every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger, and use fresh potting soil. If the plant is too large to repot, refresh the top layer of soil instead.
Propagation:
Stem Cuttings: Ficus lyrata can be propagated from stem cuttings. Cut a healthy stem with a few leaves, and place it in water or directly in soil. Roots should begin to develop in a few weeks. Once established, the new plant can be transferred to a pot with well-draining soil.
Common Issues:
Leaf Drop: Ficus lyrata is sensitive to changes in its environment, and sudden shifts in light, temperature, or humidity can cause leaf drop. It’s best to place the plant in a stable environment and avoid moving it frequently.
Brown Spots: Brown spots on the leaves can indicate root rot caused by overwatering, or in some cases, sunburn from too much direct sunlight. Adjust watering habits or relocate the plant to a spot with less direct sun.
Pests: Ficus lyrata can be susceptible to common houseplant pests like spider mites, scale, and mealybugs. Regularly inspect the leaves, especially the undersides, and treat any infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
