About this product
Ficus lyrata – Fiddle-Leaf Fig (22 cm Pot)
Plant Highlights: Large violin-shaped glossy leaves • Bold architectural form • Evergreen statement houseplant • Ideal for bright indoor spaces • Year-round foliage interest
Overview
Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the Fiddle-Leaf Fig, is one of the most distinctive indoor foliage plants, prized for its large, glossy leaves shaped like a fiddle or violin. Its strong upright habit and bold foliage make it a natural focal point in contemporary and traditional interiors alike.
As it matures, the plant develops an elegant, tree-like form, bringing height, structure and lush greenery to living spaces. Its sculptural appearance makes it equally at home as a standalone specimen or as part of a larger indoor plant collection.

Growing Guide
Position in bright, indirect light for the healthiest growth. A little gentle morning or late afternoon sun is usually well tolerated, but avoid prolonged intense midday sunlight, which may scorch the leaves. Keep the plant in a consistent location, as frequent moving can cause leaf drop.
Water thoroughly when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry, allowing excess water to drain away completely. Reduce watering during winter when growth slows naturally. Maintain a warm environment and avoid cold draughts, sudden temperature changes and placing the plant close to radiators.
Wipe the leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and help maximise the amount of light reaching the foliage.
Indoor Placement
Perfect for bright living rooms, home offices, conservatories and entrance halls with good natural light. Its upright habit makes it an excellent statement plant for empty corners or beside furniture where its bold foliage can be fully appreciated.
Why We Love It
Few houseplants create such an immediate impact as the Fiddle-Leaf Fig. Its dramatic, oversized foliage and elegant tree-like form bring lasting structure and character to indoor spaces while complementing a wide range of interior styles.
