Care Instructions

The Ficus lyrata thrives with consistent care:

• Light: Bright, indirect sunlight is essential. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil dries out. Avoid overwatering, as this is a common cause of problems. Allow excess water to drain freely from the bottom of the pot.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity levels. Regular misting, a pebble tray filled with water, or a humidifier can help create a happy environment.
• Toxicity: Mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of curious creatures and little ones.

Bellr Bonus Tip!

Fiddle Leaf Figs don't like sudden changes. Avoid moving them around too much or drastically changing their light or watering routine. If you notice leaves dropping, check for signs of underwatering, overwatering, or insufficient light.
