Fiddle-Leaf Fig in nursery pot

In the wilds of its native Africa, the Fiddle-leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata) can grow into an exceptionally large shade tree. Indoors in a pot, though, it’s much more refined and well mannered. The requirements for growing this Fig as a houseplant are simple—lots of bright indirect light and regular watering. With its magnificent, broad green leaves, this award-winning ornamental is in a class by itself, and makes a fine addition to any interior. RHS Award of Garden Merit recipient. Shipped in a nursery pot.

Ficus is an ancient, large, and diverse genus of evergreen trees, shrubs, and vines growing mostly throughout the tropics, with a few deciduous species, such as the delicious, common Fig (F. carica), inhabiting warm, temperate regions. The genus also includes Rubber Plants (F. elastica), Fiddle-leaf Fig (F. lyrata), Banana-leaf Fig (F. maclellandii), Variegated Ficus (F. triangularis) and numerous other species grown as houseplants. All commonly grown Ficus species contain toxic sap; site plants out of the reach of children and pets and wear gloves when pruning.
