Care Instructions

• Light: Place your Fiddle Leaf Fig near a bright window with indirect sunlight. It thrives in bright, filtered light but can tolerate some direct sun. Avoid low-light areas.

• Watering: Use well-draining soil and water deeply, allowing the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be cautious not to let it sit in standing water. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

• Temperature: Fiddle Leaf Figs prefer temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C-24°C) and are sensitive to drafts, cold temperatures, and sudden changes. Avoid placing it near heating vents or air conditioners.

• Soil: Use rich, well-draining potting soil. A mix formulated for indoor plants or one amended with peat and perlite works well.

• Fertilization: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring to summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Skip fertilizing in fall and winter.

  Pruning: Prune to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove damaged, yellowing, or overly crowded leaves to keep the plant healthy.

• Pests and Diseases: Watch for pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Prevent leaf spots and other fungal issues by keeping leaves clean and ensuring proper airflow.

• Cleaning Leaves: Dust accumulates on the large leaves of the Fiddle Leaf Fig, which can hinder photosynthesis. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth every few weeks to keep them shiny and healthy.

• Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years in spring if the roots become crowded, or top-dress with fresh soil annually if the plant remains in the same pot.

With attentive care, your Fiddle Leaf Fig tree will be a striking centerpiece in your home, bringing greenery and life to your indoor space for years to come.
