Ficus lyrata Bush
Fiddle-leaf Fig – Bush Bloom Period: N/A Light: Moderate Indirect (Medium) Water: Let Soil Dry Out Slightly (Moderate Moisture) Size: Height 3 – 10’ Width 3 – 5’ Zone: N/A Patent: None Stiff and waxy, with their characteristic wavy, pear- to violin-shape, these leaves are instantly recognizable whether in a chunky, shrub-like bush or on a dominating, well-branched tree. Combining a sculptural form with endearing whimsy, fiddle-leaf figs are wonderful anchor pieces for interior design and, with careful attention, can become long-lived friends. Very bright, indirect light, consistent temperatures and allowing the soil to dry out slightly before watering will keep this beauty from becoming a drama queen. May be coaxed to branching with judicious pruning once desired height is obtained.
