Variegated Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the variegated fiddle leaf fig, showcases striking creamy white margins with two-toned green centres. These plants are highly sought after due to their rarity and challenging propagation process.

Browning on Variegated Leaves

Like many other variegated plants, the white portions of the leaves are prone to browning. This often occurs when the plant is acclimating to new lighting conditions or during transit. While this browning is natural and doesn’t indicate poor health, you can trim the affected areas if it concerns you.

We prefer to sell these plants while they’re small because they may experience some browning during acclimation. Over time, as the plant produces new, healthy leaves, you can remove the older, lower leaves that have browned. To minimise browning, aim to keep the plant in a stable environment, avoiding frequent moves or drastic changes in light exposure.

Care Considerations

This is not an easy-care plant. Similar to its non-variegated counterpart, the variegated Fiddle Leaf Fig is sensitive to both overwatering and underwatering. These plants are also prone to oedema, which appears as dark veining on the leaves due to excess water uptake by the roots. To help with watering, we grow these plants in translucent pots, making it easier to monitor soil moisture levels.

What to Expect

The plant pictured is the exact plant you will receive. It is a young, but well rooted propagation. As shown, the original propagating leaf is starting to brown, and the white portions of this leaf will likely continue to brown over time. This is normal, and the leaf should be removed once the plant has grown another leaf or two.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot.

We ship plants every Monday to non-quarantine states. Please place your order before 2 pm on Sunday to ensure your plant is sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time may not be shipped until the following week.

Orders to WA and TAS are shipped on selected dates only due to quarantine requirements. Orders for WA and TAS must be placed by 12 pm (midday) on the Friday before dispatch. Please see the list of WA and TAS shipping dates at the bottom of this page.

Shipping for plants to non-quarantine states is capped at $18.00 per order. Shipping for plants to WA and TAS is capped at $30.00 per order. We currently do not ship plants to NT.

Shipping costs include packing materials, labour, and certification where required. We use recycled packaging where possible to reduce waste and keep costs down, while ensuring all packing materials are sturdy enough to protect your plants during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We do not request signature on delivery, as parcels returned to the post office may not be collected for several days, which can place additional stress on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from Northern Wellbeing Centre, 113C Miller Street, Epping VIC. If you select this option at checkout, we will email you to arrange a pickup time.
