The Fiddle Leaf Fig has such a sense of whimsy and individuality about it and is a striking plant that can be used to create height, fullness and texture. Tucking this terrific little tree beside a chair or sofa will help with establishing height if perhaps a few extra inches are needed in your space. Large leaves contribute fabulous fullness without "overdoing it" and is a great scuplted accessory piece which adds interest.

Incorporating organic texture into any space is always highly recommended by our designers, and adding in greenery instantly brings life and vitality into a space! Now here comes the big question when it comes to selecting the right Fiddle Leaf Fig for you. Do you want the real deal or a close imitation? We have a few helpful tips that may assist you in that choice. 

A live Fiddle Leaf Fig requires a little more tender loving care and perhaps a bit of a green thumb! They tend to be a little temperamental; but if taken care of correctly, you will have a gorgeous green tree to showcase in your home for years to come. Be sure to do the proper research on caring for your new little tree!

  • Always be sure to check the water temperature. Figs are not fond of cold water, watering with more lukewarm water is ideal. Also maintain a regular water schedule and be careful not to overwater your tree.  
  • Ensure proper lighting for your tree, placement and rotation are key!
  • Wipe down leaves. This allows your fig tree to soak up all of the sun's nutrients. This is also how these little darlings breathe!
  • Keep close watch on the roots. As your tree grows, you will need to repot it if you start to see the roots inching their way out of the bottom.
