🌞 Light & Placement

Bright, indirect light is key for a happy Fiddle Leaf Fig—especially for an XL plant that needs energy to maintain those big leaves. Place it near an east or west-facing window. In darker European winters, a bright south-facing spot works well if you avoid harsh midday sun through glass.

• Avoid cold drafts (common near winter windows in Europe)
• Choose a stable spot—Ficus can react to frequent moving
• Rotate slightly every 2–3 weeks for even growth

💧 Water & Humidity

Water thoroughly when the top 4–6 cm of soil feels dry. Let excess water drain completely. In spring/summer this is often weekly; in autumn/winter it can be every 10–14 days depending on light and heating.

• Moderate humidity is ideal (40–60%)
• During dry heating season in German homes, consider a humidifier or pebble tray
• Use room-temperature water to avoid shock

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining, airy substrate to protect roots from rot—think quality houseplant soil mixed with perlite and pine bark. The P27 pot supports strong growth, but ensure your decorative pot (if used) never holds standing water.

• Repot every 1–2 years in spring, or when roots fill the pot
• Top-dress annually (fresh soil layer) for nutrient refresh without stress

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Not pet-safe. Ficus Lyrata produces milky sap (latex) that can irritate mouths and stomachs if chewed by cats or dogs and may irritate sensitive skin. Place out of reach of pets and wash hands after pruning.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

• Growth habit: Upright, tree-form; branched structure creates a fuller canopy
• Indoor potential: Can reach 2 m+ over time with excellent light
• Propagation: Stem cuttings (best in spring/summer) rooted in water or a moist, airy mix
• Pruning: Trim tips to shape and encourage more branching (wear gloves due to sap)

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Feed monthly from March to September with a balanced liquid fertilizer. In winter, reduce feeding and water less—growth slows in low light. Wipe leaves regularly to remove dust (a big deal for large-leaf plants indoors).

• Keep away from radiators and heat blasts
• Support with a stake if needed while it settles after shipping
• After arrival: let it acclimate 1–2 weeks before repotting

🐛 Common Issues

• Leaf drop: Often from drafts, low light, or sudden changes (including moving spots)
• Brown spots: Overwatering, poor drainage, or inconsistent watering
• Yellowing: Typically too much water or not enough light
• Spider mites: More common in dry winter air—raise humidity and check leaf undersides

🧬 Botanical Background

Ficus lyrata is native to West African tropical forests and belongs to the Moraceae family. Indoors, it’s loved for its sculptural silhouette and dramatic foliage—one of the most iconic indoor plants for European homes and a true classic in German interior styling.
