About the Dwarf Ficus Lyrata 'Fiddle Leaf Fig'
A favourite among plant lovers and interior designers alike, how darling are these Ficus Lyrata Dwarf/Bambino plants? Perfect for the fiddle leaf fig lovers who maybe don't quite have a space large enough to accommodate a larger bush or tree just yet!
Light: Bright indirect light
Water: Water when the top layer of soil is dry about 1 inch deep from the top. Remember to remove any excess standing water after about 5-10 minutes to help prevent rotting the roots over time.
Your Ficus Lyrata's leaves will accumulate dust overtime, which interferes with the flow of carbon dixoide into the plant and the resulting outflow of oxygen into the room. Clean the leaves by placing one hand under the leaf and with your other hand gently wipe the surface using a damp microfiber cloth. Keeping your plant regularly free of dust as part of your plant care routine is not only great for the plant, but also for you!
