At Soto we want to make looking after your plants as easy and enjoyable as possible. The Fiddle Leaf Fig profile will help you get to know your new plant.
Origin: The Fiddle Leaf Fig is native to the lowland rainforests of West Africa. In its native habitat, the Fiddle Leaf Fig can grow into a large tree.
Light: Fiddle Leaf Figs thrive in bright, indirect light. The plant is well adapted to the understory of the forest, where it receives filtered light.
They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but prolonged exposure may lead to leaf burn. Adequate light is crucial for healthy growth and the development of the plant's characteristic large leaves.
Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Fiddle Leaf Figs are sensitive to overwatering, so it's essential to strike a balance. Water less frequently in the winter when the plant's growth slows down.
Pruning: Prune to maintain the desired shape and remove any damaged or yellowing leaves. Wiping the leaves with a damp cloth can help keep them clean and helps with photosynthesis.
When the plant first arrives it may drop a few leaves as it gets used to its new home, this is nothing to worry about.
