Our beautiful fiddle leaf fig trees seem to be a popular plant for home and office this fall. They are a lush, green, interior plant with large, waxy leaves that are available in small table top sizes to large 6' and taller trees that add beautiful, live color to larger spaces. And best of all they are easy to care for when they are kept warm and in good light. These plants prefer medium to high light, but not direct sun. Since these are tropical plants, they thrive and enjoy being warm. They are less likely to drop leaves or develop brown spots if kept warm and consistently watered, but not over watered. A good drink once a week is all they need. If you find the soil still damp or it is sitting in water, wait till next week to water. Over watering is sure to create root rot and dropping leaves. If you find your fiddle leaf fig loosing color over time make sure it is being fertilized mildly a few times a year and not in direct sun for too long, these are common causes of their bleaching out. With proper care of these easy and sturdy plants, you can expect them to thrive in your home or office for many years.
