African Fig Leaf
African Fig Leaf, also known as Ficus lyrata or Fiddle Leaf Fig, is a striking and popular indoor plant known for its large, glossy, and violin-shaped leaves. Native to the tropical rainforests of West Africa, this plant is admired for its bold foliage and upright growth habit, making it a standout addition to any space. African Fig Leaf typically grows to about 3 to 10 feet in height, depending on the container size and care. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. Regular watering is important, but the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid root rot. The plant benefits from occasional feeding during the growing season to support its lush foliage. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer a selection of high-quality African Fig Leaf plants, perfect for enhancing indoor environments with their dramatic and elegant presence.
