How to take care of Dwarf Fiddle Leaf Fig

Light: Medium

In addition to sunlight, Dwarf Fiddle Leaf Figs can also tolerate low to medium light conditions, making them suitable for indoor environments with limited natural light. However, they may grow more slowly in lower light conditions.

Light: Medium

Dwarf Fiddle Leaf Figs thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. They should be placed near a window where they can receive plenty of natural light but avoid direct exposure to harsh sunlight, which can scorch their delicate leaves.

Water: When mostly dry

Proper watering is crucial for Dwarf Fiddle Leaf Figs. They prefer consistently moist but well-draining soil. Water them when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and be sure to allow excess water to drain away to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Any

Dwarf Fiddle Leaf Figs thrive in moderate to high humidity levels. To increase humidity around the plant, you can mist its leaves regularly or place a humidity tray filled with water nearby. Avoid placing the plant near drafts or air vents, as these can decrease humidity levels.

Pet Friendly: Caution

While Dwarf Fiddle Leaf Figs are not considered toxic to pets, ingesting large quantities of their leaves can cause mild gastrointestinal upset in cats and dogs. To ensure the safety of your pets, it's best to keep the plant out of their reach.

Pro Tip

To promote healthy growth and prevent leggy or uneven growth patterns, rotate your Dwarf Fiddle Leaf Fig regularly. Turning the plant every few weeks ensures that all sides receive equal exposure to light, resulting in a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. Additionally, rotating the plant encourages even growth and prevents it from leaning toward the light source, promoting a more robust and attractive specimen over time.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
