Ficus Lyrata has huge, glossy, fiddle-shaped leaves with prominent veins. If you are looking for a Ficus with a difference, this one packs a punch with it's amazing flamboyant foliage. Leaves are much larger than most other Ficus, growing up to 30cm long and 13cm wide with a fabulous violin-like shape. Leaves often have brown spotting and markings particularly on the underneaths.
Ficus lyrata are perfect for adding some serious, air-cleansing, greenery to your indoor living space.
Please note: some minor leave damage can occur during transit. These are fast growing plants, so simply remove the affected leaves at the base of the stem. This may also encourage the plant to develop new growth at this point.
Horty Hints
Don’t adorn with dust! Keeping these big broad leaves dust-free will help your plant photosynthesize and grow.
Insufficient light or improper watering can also trigger leaf drop! Find a more suitable location and adjust your watering schedule. Your plant should quickly recover.
Sticky latex will ooze from the ends of cut stems! This can be an irritant, so make sure to wash your hands afterwards.
