Fiddle Leaf Figs
The trend of fiddle leaf figs in designer pots has
returned!
Ideas for keeping your fiddle leaf fig thriving
inside:
• Select a healthy looking fiddle leaf fig - one
with green leaves, no discolouration, or with
any signs of pests/diseases and no masses
of roots coming out the bottom.
• Choose a spot where it will get plenty
of light for as much time during the day,
however, direct sun is not advised, as this
can damage the leaves.
• Keep the leaves clean - as dust can interfere
with it’s “breathing” and invite bacteria which
could lead to pests and diseases.
• A watering tip - keep the top inch or so of the
soil dry, but the soil below should be moist.
Check this by sticking your finger in the soil
as it will differ depending on the weather/
heating inside. Similar to the succulents,
water until there is seepage coming out of
the bottom - this should be done weekly.
