Plant Overview
Fiddle-Leaf Fig is a popular indoor plant from the Moraceae family. Fiddle-Leaf Fig is native to the Mediterranean region, where it is commonly found in dry, well-drained soils. Its leaves are said to be effective in various inflammatory conditions. It is often used as an ornamental tree in gardens. Fiddle-Leaf Fig does not require much maintenance once it is set up. However, proper care for watering and fertilization is required. Its large leaves are ideal for combating air microbes and producing oxygen. Keep in mind that they are prone to relocation. Once matured, relocation will cause them to shed leaves and die off eventually.
