How to Grow
The Fiddle Leaf Fig thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, though it can tolerate some direct morning or late afternoon rays. It prefers a well-draining potting mix, and containers with efficient drainage holes are a must.

Care Tips
Water the Ficus Lyrata when the top few inches of soil feel dry, ensuring you don't over-water or let the plant sit in excess moisture. These plants are sensitive to changes in their environment, so avoid moving them frequently. To retain the shine on its large leaves, wipe them down with a damp cloth occasionally to remove dust.

Planting Tips
When potting, select a container with good drainage. Mixing some perlite or sand into the potting mix can enhance drainage. If you're growing it outdoors, pick a sheltered spot with dappled sunlight, ensuring protection from strong winds and harsh afternoon sun.
Maintenance
Luckily, this plant is very low maitenance. To maintain a balanced shape, rotate the plant every few weeks. Prune away any damaged or excessive growth to keep the plant healthy and aesthetically pleasing.
