Fiddle Leaf Fig Bonsai
Fiddle Leaf Fig Bonsai, aka Ficus Lyrata Bonsai, is a species of an evergreen tropical tree native to the tropical lowlands of western Africa (Sierra Leone to Cameroon). It is a bonsai form of the regular Fiddle Leaf Fig plant. Belonging to the fig family, Moraceae, it is known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig because its leaves are similar to the size and shape of fiddles. This stunning, statement plant will bring a lush feeling to any home.
They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It is best to place this plant somewhere where it will receive some nice morning sun, or a couple hours of afternoon sun, and then indirect light the rest of the day.
They will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.
They like the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 2 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. droopy, floppy, or soft leaves). Water more often in the warmer months!
They can live in any average home humidity condition but would definitely thank if you if they were to receive a more humid environment.
Fiddles are happiest in a stable environment and should always be placed right in or near a window. Make environmental changes gradually and try not to move the plant in winter. Keep away from air conditioners, heaters and drafts.
The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.
As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.
