Fiddle leaf figs (Ficus lyrata) are popular indoor plants known for their large, glossy leaves. They can be a bit finicky, but with the right care, they thrive and add a touch of green to your space. Here are some tips for keeping your fiddle leaf fig healthy:

  1. Light: Fiddle leaf figs prefer bright, indirect light. A spot near a window with filtered sunlight is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

  2. Watering: Water your fiddle leaf fig when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure that the pot has good drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to let the soil dry out a bit between waterings.

  3. Humidity: These plants like a bit of humidity, so if your home is dry, consider misting the leaves occasionally or using a humidifier.

  4. Temperature: Fiddle leaf figs prefer temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). 

  5. Feeding: Fertilize your fiddle leaf fig with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). 

  6. Pruning: Trim any dead or damaged leaves to encourage new growth. If the plant gets too tall, you can prune the top to encourage branching.

  7. Repotting: Fiddle leaf figs generally need repotting every 1-2 years or when they outgrow their pot. Choose a pot that's 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one.

  8. Pests and Problems: Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites or mealybugs. Also, watch for signs of problems such as leaf drop or brown spots, which can indicate issues with watering or light.

Regular care and attention will help your fiddle leaf fig stay lush and healthy!
