The Fiddle Leaf Fig is a really great plant for beginners and experts alike, and designers will appreciate what it can do in a photo. Although our plants are the highest quality and acclimated for reduced light situations, they will thrive in higher light. All Fiddle Leaf figs prefer bright light. Special note: After shipping hundreds of these plants, we have new guidance for ordering: If you do not have a bright, sunny spot – on a patio or adjacent to an east, west, or (preferably) south window – please consider another plant from our low-light selections.

It is shown here, to the left, in the standard tree form in a 14″ growpot. The larger size (in 14″ growpot) is available in tree and bush form, while the mid-size (in 12″ growpot) is only available as a tree and the smallest (in 10″ growpot) is available in both tree and bush. A standard tree is more popular, and a bush will have leaves all the way to the base. The Fiddle Leaf Fig is available in 3 sizes in varying heights and 2 styles – standard tree form and bush. Put it in a well-lit room and let it grow. The ficus lyrata, also known as a Fiddle Leaf Fig is sought after for its big, violin-shaped (that’s a fiddle down south) leaves and ability to take a prominent place in the décor of a big space.
