Fiddle Leaf Fig (Bush Form)

The Fiddle Leaf Fig (or FLF for short) is one of the most popular houseplants today, and one of our best-selling house plants! Hailing from South America, the FLF does in fact produce figs in the wild. Given the right conditions, FLF can grow up to 3 meters tall. This plant will shed its lower leaves as it grows for a more tree-like appearance as it matures.

Fun Fact

Although they are actual fig trees, it is rare that they will fruit indoors but it is not entirely impossible. In some rare cases, when grown indoors and in optimal growing environments, some growers have reported that their FLFs have produced fruit!

I'm new to plants, do you have a guide somewhere to help get me started?
We do! You can find all of our guides and more on our blog. If you still require further assistance, email us with your question(s) and one of our friendly and knowledgeable customer service agents will be more than happy to assist you.

What should I do with my plants once I receive them?
Unwrap the plants as soon as you can and remove any wood excelsior shreds to allow the soil to breathe (we use wood excelsior to keep soil in place during shipping). If the soil has dried out completely during transit, you can give the plant a sip of water. Air plants can be soaked upon arrival. Allow all plants some time to acclimate to your home environment.

Do I need to repot my new plants?
Although many growers consider repotting all their new plants a part of their practice, it isn't necessarily required. For the most part, succulents can stay growing in their nursery pots for a year or even two before needing to be repot because they are slow growers and have smaller root systems. House plants grow at a faster rate and may need to be repot shortly after you receive them. Keep in mind that most plants prefer to be root bound so our recommendation is that you should definitely repot your plants whenever their roots are growing out the top of the soil or through the drainage holes at the bottom. For more information on plant repotting, visit our guide Repotting House Plants - How and When to Do It.
