About this plant
Fiddle-leaf figs have a reputation for sulking, and it is mostly about change: they dislike being moved, draughts and uneven watering. Give one a bright spot near a window and leave it there, and it rewards you with steady growth.
We sell single-stem plants that are easy to shape. Pinch out the top growing tip in spring if you'd like it to branch.
Care tips
- Turn the pot a quarter every month so it grows evenly.
- Dropping leaves usually means a draught or a sudden move, not a watering problem.
- Water thoroughly, then let the pot drain completely.
