Ficus Lyrata: The Stylish Fiddle Leaf Plant for Your Home

The Ficus Lyrata, also known as the fiddle-leaf plant, is a popular houseplant with large, glossy leaves that resemble the shape of a violin. This tropical plant brings a stylish and modern touch to any interior. Native to West Africa, it requires a good balance of light, water, and care.

Ficus Lyrata grows best in a bright spot with at least 5 hours of indirect sunlight per day. The soil should remain slightly moist, but not too wet to prevent root rot. The plant prefers high humidity, which you can promote by spraying regularly. Too much or too little water can lead to leaf discoloration or leaf drop, so paying attention to correct watering is important.

Regular pruning keeps the plant compact and maintains its beautiful, full foliage. Ficus Lyrata is therefore easy to care for and ideal for anyone who wants a green eye-catcher in their home or office.

Care tips:

• Place the Ficus Lyrata in a light but draught-free place
• Keep the potting soil evenly slightly moist, avoid wet feet
• Increase humidity by spraying regularly
• Feed monthly in spring and summer, not in winter
• Prune in spring for a compact, healthy plant
