Extra Large Ficus lyrata (Fiddle Leaf Fig)

The Ficus lyrata has been an ‘it’ plant for quite some time now. It has a wonderful branched form and amazing large leaves so no wonder its popular. We supply mature specimens with thick stems that will make a stunning feature in any interior space.

This rather large plant will need a rather large planter. Get in touch to find out what the options are. We also offer a full delivery and installation service (London only), if required.

Please note, there is a 1-2 week leadtime for our extra large plants.

Delivery / Installation (London only)

We only offer our extra large plants to customers based in London. We deliver personally with a large van to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition, hence the higher delivery cost. We're happy to advise on placement and general plant care when delivering.

If you'd like the full works including delivery and installation by a professional team using top quality substrate, just get in touch and we'll provide a quote: hello@underleaf.uk

Watering

Water regularly and thoroughly so the water reaches the plant’s deeper roots. Allow the top soil to dry out between each watering and make sure the roots are never sitting in water for a prolonged period.

Light requirements

Requires plenty of indirect light but may suffer if it gets too much direct sunlight. A lack of light can lead to leggy stems/ low growth rate / loss of leaves.

Care tips

• Avoid placing the planter next to radiators or draughty windows. 
• Carefully wipe the leaves from time-to-time to remove any dust.
• Prune out any brown leaves or stems by cutting as close the next stem or the base of the plant as possible.
• Use some fertiliser during warmer months i.e. April to September (little and often is best for consistent growth).
• For more detailed plant care instructions, check out our Plant Care 101 guide.
