Care Guide

Light Requirements

The Fiddle Leaf Fig thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while insufficient light may lead to poor growth. Placing it near an east-facing window with filtered light is ideal.

Watering Needs

Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause leaf drop. Adjust your watering schedule seasonally, reducing frequency during the winter months.

Humidity

Prefers moderate to high humidity levels. If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase humidity. Regularly misting the leaves can also be beneficial.

Fertilization

During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Refrain from fertilizing during the fall and winter months when growth slows.

Common Pests

Spider Mites: Tiny pests that can cause stippling on leaves. Increase humidity and treat with insecticidal soap if infestation occurs.

Mealybugs: Appear as white, cottony masses on leaves and stems. Remove manually and treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

Scale Insects: Brown or black bumps on stems and leaves. Treat with horticultural oil and remove manually if necessary.

FAQs

How to take care of Fiddle Leaf Fig

Light: Bright

Consistent, moderate light is essential for Fiddle Leaf Figs. They prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth on all sides.

Sun: Direct - Indirect

Fiddle Leaf Figs thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Place them near a window where they can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can scorch their leaves.

Water: When Mostly dry

Water your Fiddle Leaf Fig when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be sure not to overwater, as Fiddle Leaf Figs are susceptible to root rot. Allow excess water to drain from the pot, and empty the saucer to prevent waterlogging.

Humidity: Any

Fiddle Leaf Figs prefer moderate to high humidity levels. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby, especially during dry winter months. Avoid placing the plant near drafty areas or heating vents, as this can decrease humidity levels.

Pet Friendly: Caution

While Fiddle Leaf Figs are not toxic to pets, ingesting large quantities of their leaves can cause gastrointestinal upset. Keep the plant out of reach of curious pets, and monitor them closely around the plant to prevent nibbling.

Pro Tip

To encourage healthy growth and prevent dust buildup on the leaves, gently wipe the foliage with a damp cloth or sponge every few weeks. This not only removes dust but also allows the plant to absorb more light and nutrients, promoting overall vitality and lush foliage.

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!
