FIDDLE LEAF FIG 10 Inch
Native to tropical Africa, the popularity of this species has skyrocketed throughout Australia and the rest of the world as a decorative houseplant.
Fiddle leaf figs are decently happy as root bound plants and will do just fine in the pot you bought it in. Usually repot plant every one to two years.
when you water at home, it is key to not drench it and to add the same amount of water each week. Then let it dry out completely between waterings.
Shape, color and size of plants may vary slightly.
Care Instructions
The most common cause of small red spots on new leaves of fiddle leaf fig plants is edema.
Edema is often a symptom of moisture stress, which is caused by incongruous watering. The ficus is especially prone to edema, as noted by the Missouri Botanical Garden, an accredited charity famous for horticultural education.
When a plant’s roots absorb more water than the leaves can consume or transpire, pressure builds until the leaves’ cells burst. Subsequently, dead cells are visible as blisters or dark 1- to 3-mm bruises.Don’t worry, mild cases of edema are completely normal, and even expected, especially during times of growth when you want to ensure your plants have plenty of water to support the new leaves’ development.
