Fiddle-leaf Fig Plant Care Guide

Placement

The Fiddle Leaf Fig will do well in a room that gets bright consistent light. Place her near a window with a sheer curtain for filtered sunlight. To encourage even growth, rotate the plant every few months once it begins to lean towards the light.

Light Requirements

The Fiddle Leaf Fig needs medium to bright indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided.

Watering Needs

Water only when the top part of the soil has dried out. When watering, water the plant generously and evenly from above, allowing water to soak through to the roots, then tip out any excess water. Clean the leaves by wiping them down with a damp cloth.

Temperature Preferences

Does well at room temperature between 60°F - 77°F. Cold temperatures and cold, drafty windows should be avoided.

Humidity Tolerance

Does well in about 40% - 60% humidity.

Repotting Needs

The plant can live happily in the provided pot for up to a year. Check if the plant is ready to be repotted by touching the soil and seeing if it has become loose, or if the roots have become overgrown. Repot about once a year to avoid overcrowded roots. When repotting, use a rich, well-draining peaty soil. When your plant is ready to be repotted, you can follow our simple how-to guide.

Unhealthy Plant Signs

Falling leaves and yellowing leaves may be a sign of overwatering. This plant is susceptible to pests, which can cause the leaves to turn yellow and drop. Check the plant's foliage regularly; if you notice pests, wipe down the leaves with a mixture of ½ a teaspoon of dishwashing detergent and one gallon of water.
