This week I’ve teamed up with Fast Growing Trees to show you how to care for your Fiddle Leaf Fig Plant so it grows healthy, survives and adds itself as a beautiful green accent for your home!
What is the Fiddle-Leaf Fig?
Raise your hand if you’ve had a hard time keeping your fiddle-leaf fig alive! These pretty, trendy and feisty cared plants can be treated and cared for well with the right steps!
Dubbed the “It” tree of the design world by the New York Times, the Fiddle-Leaf Fig is rising the ranks, becoming the most coveted house plant of the decade. Large, glossy violin-shaped leaves are its standout feature and namesake, which contrast perfectly against a thin, svelte trunk. This whimsically classic tree adds instant style to any room in your house. And plant care for this favorite is almost an afterthought because it’s so simple.
But What Makes the Fiddle-Leaf So Great?
A mature height of 6-10 feet translates to textural drama and contrast in any space. Originally grown under the canopy of the African rainforests, the voluminous Fiddle-Leaf Fig Tree fits in perfectly with the natural, indirect light of your home. A columnar, sculptural silhouette lends volume to your space without looking busy or bushy.
