FAQs

How often should I water my Fiddle Leaf Fig?

There is no set schedule. Water only when the top layer of the compost feels dry to the touch, and ensure excess water drains away.

Can this plant survive in a basement office?

Ficus Lyrata requires adequate light to thrive. If the office lacks natural light, you may need to supplement it with a grow light.

Does it need a special fertilizer?

During the growing season, a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength once a month is usually sufficient.

Why are the leaves covered in dust?

Dust accumulates naturally. Gently wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to keep them healthy and aesthetic.

Can I keep the plant in the plastic nursery pot?

Yes, but it is recommended to place the nursery pot inside a decorative outer planter for better stability and style.

What is the ideal temperature range?

Keep the plant in an environment consistently above 12°C and away from extreme temperature fluctuations.

Troubleshooting

Leaf tips turning brown or crispy

This often indicates inconsistent watering or low humidity. Check soil moisture and consider misting the leaves more frequently.

Leaves dropping unexpectedly

The plant is likely reacting to a sudden change in environment, such as a cold draught or being moved to a new location. Ensure stable temperatures.

Yellowing leaves

This is a common sign of overwatering. Ensure the plant is not sitting in water and allow the compost to dry out more thoroughly between waterings.

Pros and Cons

  • Versatile for various decor styles through choice of external planters
  • Adaptable to indoor office and home environments
  • Encourages cleaner interior aesthetics

  • Sensitive to cold draughts and temperature changes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you receive your Ficus Lyrata, ensure it is placed in a stable location away from radiators, air conditioning vents, or doorways where cold draughts occur.

  1. Placement: Select a spot that maintains a temperature consistently above 12°C.
  2. Watering: Stick your finger into the compost. Only water when the top layer feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has proper drainage so the plant never sits in standing water.
  3. Maintenance: Mist the leaves periodically to increase local humidity, or wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust.
  4. Repotting: While the nursery pot is functional, you can transplant it into a decorative vessel. Ensure the new vessel has adequate drainage holes.
