a little about me…

ficus lyrata, commonly known as the fiddle-leaf fig, is a species of flowering plant native to western africa.  the fiddle leaf fig is total eye candy! unlike it's tall cousin, the dwarf fiddle leaf will remain petite (it'll max out at about 3')!

make sure that your window is properly sealed. figs are used to the still, warm conditions of the rainforest. cold drafts from windows, doors, and air-conditioning units may cause its leaves to dry out and drop.

give it bright, consistent light— preferably by a sunny window. turn the plant every few months once it begins to lean toward the light.

water only when you stick your finger in the soil and it is dry to your second knuckle. when the time comes, water thoroughly (until the water drains into the saucer) and allow to dry out again. if plants don’t get enough water, new leaves will turn brown and drop; on the other hand, if they are overwatered, the oldest leaves (toward the base of the plant) will turn brown and fall off.  she loves high humidity and would do well with a spritz or a pebble tray nearby.

as a ficus, it is toxic to pets and humans if consumed
