Ficus Lyrata – The Iconic Fiddle-Leaf Fig

The Ficus Lyrata, commonly known as the Fiddle-Leaf Fig, is a beloved indoor plant prized for its large, glossy, violin-shaped leaves. With its bold presence and lush foliage, this plant makes a stunning statement in any space, whether as a towering floor plant or a compact tabletop specimen when young.

Why Choose Ficus Lyrata?

• Large, Sculptural Leaves: Deep green, leathery foliage with prominent veins.
• Statement Plant: Adds a bold, architectural presence to indoor spaces.
• Long-Lived & Rewarding: With proper care, it can thrive for years, growing into an impressive feature plant.

Care Requirements

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some direct sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon rays.
• Soil: Grows best in a well-draining potting mix.
• Watering: Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, and can also be the cause oedema in Fiddle-leaf Figs.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts to standard indoor conditions.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
