Lyrata
Lyrata, commonly known as Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata), is a striking indoor plant renowned for its large, glossy, and uniquely shaped leaves. Native to the rainforests of West Africa, Lyrata features broad, violin-shaped leaves that add a touch of bold, tropical elegance to any room. The plant typically grows to 3 to 6 feet indoors, making it an ideal choice for creating a dramatic focal point in homes or offices. Lyrata thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light, though it can adapt to lower light conditions. Regular watering is important, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Fiddle Leaf Fig is also known for its low-maintenance nature, requiring occasional pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer high-quality Lyrata plants to enhance your indoor space with their lush, vibrant foliage.
