Fiddle Tree Three Stems 180-190cm

Caring for a fiddle leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) involves a few key practices to ensure it stays healthy and vibrant. Here’s a guide to help you:

1. Light: Fiddle leaf figs thrive in bright, indirect light. A spot near a window with filtered sunlight is ideal. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, while too little light can hinder their growth.

2. Watering: Water the plant when the top inch or so of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, as fiddle leaf figs are susceptible to root rot. Ensure the pot has good drainage and never let the plant sit in water.

3. Humidity: Fiddle leaf figs prefer higher humidity. If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase moisture in the air.

4. Temperature: They prefer a consistent temperature between 60-75°F (15-24°C). 

5. Feeding: Fertilize the plant every 1-2 months during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. 

6. Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Regularly dust the leaves to keep them clean and free of pests.

7. Repotting: Fiddle leaf figs generally need repotting every 1-2 years or when they outgrow their pot. Choose a slightly larger pot and refresh the soil to encourage healthy growth.

8. Pests and Problems: Watch for common issues like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale. If you notice brown spots or edges on the leaves, it might be a sign of overwatering, underwatering, or inadequate humidity.

By following these guidelines, your fiddle leaf fig should remain a striking and healthy part of your indoor plant collection!
