Ficus lyrata

Fiddle Fig

The Fiddle Fig, scientifically known as Ficus lyrata, is a popular indoor plant. It features lush and broad, dark green leaves that are held off an upright stem. It grows with a somewhat narrow habit to eventually reach 20 m and 7 m wide when grown outdoors but generally only reaches 2 m tall and 1 m wide when grown indoors. Best results this evergreen are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site, protected from wind and frost. The Fiddle Fig makes for a stunning houseplant and is also well suited to growing outdoors in warmer climates. In these circumstances it can be grown around outdoor living areas such as pools or included in courtyard gardens.

How Big Does The Fiddle Leaf Fig Grow Indoors?

The Fiddle Leaf Fig are popular indoor plants with their large and lush leaves. While they can grow 15 m or more tall outdoors in their native tropical habitat, indoor growth is typically slower and more constrained. Indoors, a Fiddle Leaf Fig usually reaches a height of 2-3 m tall. However, with the right conditions, including bright, indirect light, consistent watering, and occasional fertilizer applications, they can potentially grow taller.
