Product description
The Fiddle-Leaf Fig, also known as Banjo Fig, is a unique and vibrant houseplant. This large, indoor plant comes in a variety of sizes - the tallest we have reaches an impressive 100cm! It has larger leaves than most other Ficus, with each leaf growing up to 30cm long and 13cm wide. The fiddle-shaped foliage features bright green colour and an attractive, veined pattern, making it a very eye-catching focal point for living rooms and hallways.
Ficus lyrata is also very beneficial for your living area due to its air-purifying traits. This sees harmful pollutants and unwanted toxins removed to improve air quality. Being relatively easy to care for, it will prefer a spot that is not too shady or sunny. A regular mist will help, although consistent watering is key, especially if the leaves begin to drop.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Ficus thrives in a warm, humid environment, so consider misting its leaves regularly or using a humidifier nearby to maintain moisture levels. Rotate the pot every couple of weeks to ensure even growth and prevent the plant from leaning. Clean the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them healthy and glossy. With proper care, Ficus will become a stunning focal point in your home or office.
How to Water
Water Ficus consistently, allowing the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. During the growing season, water approximately once a week, adjusting frequency based on environmental conditions, and reduce watering during winter when growth slows. Ensure excess water drains freely to prevent root rot. Use filtered or rainwater whenever possible, as Ficus plants are sensitive to the chemicals found in tap water.
How to Plant
To plant Ficus, choose a pot with excellent drainage and fill it with a light, well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants. Gently remove the plant from its container, loosening the roots slightly, and position it so the base of the stem sits just above the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Place the pot in a bright spot with indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight that can scorch the leaves.
