Fiddle Leaf Fig
If you want to make the addition to your own plant family, you’ll want to read how-to-care-for the notoriously hard-to-care-for plant.
Sunlight
If you’ve ever experienced owning a Fiddle Leaf Fig and have watched leaves drop or even the plant die altogether, this is not indication that you are not an excellent plant parent. There’s just a little extra attention needed.
The Fiddle is just like other plants, in that it uses the sun’s energy for food, but the Fiddle’s leaves are giant compared to most other plants, so they’ll need lots of sunlight. Each cell needs light to make food, eat and generate food for the rest of the plant. If the leaves are dropping, the plant is not getting enough light. If your Fiddle is indoors making your room look oh-so-fine, it’s going to need bright indirect light to full sun. That means, putting it in a window, rather than next to or a few feet away from.
Water
Like most other plants, the Fiddle is relatively easy to water. When the soil dries out, add water. The rate you water will depend on the temperature of your home or office, so gage watering between every 1-2 weeks. Water with ¼-⅓ of the pot’s volume of water so that you can saturate the soil with just enough water and then let it dry out. Pretend you are the sun and the rain for your plant. When the soil is dry, be a rainstorm. When wet, act like the sun and wait until it dries.
Humidity - Temperature
Normal room humidity will do, but prefers humid conditions if possible.65°F-85°F (18°C-30°C). It’s best not to let it go below 60°F (15°C)
