The Fiddle Leaf Fig Bush is a compact, bushy plant that soon develops several upright stems, covered with bold, very large leaves. Between 12 and 18 inches long, the leaves are broader and rounded towards their ends, just like a fiddle or violin. It develops into a broad, dense plant, with the leaves spaced out along the stems. In time the plant will become 6 feet tall, or more, and several feet wide. This is the perfect choice for a large, bold houseplant for filling corners of rooms, in window bays, or in atriums, sun-rooms, great-rooms and other larger, taller spaces.
The best location for your Fiddle Leaf Fig Bush is in bright light, but not in direct afternoon sun. An east-facing window is ideal, and this is not a plant for dark corners. Allow the soil to become dry between each watering, at least for the top few inches, and in cooler, darker spots, and in winter, right to the bottom of the pot. Water thoroughly when you do water, and feed regularly from spring to early fall. Pests and diseases are rare, and this plant is easy to grow in good light conditions.
