Description

25L, approx. 180 x 60cm Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the fiddle-leaf fig, is a popular houseplant appreciated for its large, violin-shaped leaves. It is a tropical evergreen tree belonging to the Moraceae family. It typically grows up to 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) tall in its natural habitat, but when cultivated as a houseplant, it usually reaches a more manageable height of around 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters). Due to its striking foliage and ability to grow indoors, Ficus lyrata has gained popularity as a houseplant worldwide. The leaves are its most distinctive feature, characterized by their large, leathery, and glossy appearance. The leaves are deeply veined and shaped like a fiddle or lyre, which gives rise to its common name, “fiddle-leaf fig.” Pick-up from: Greenhithe, Auckland
