Ficus Lyrata

Ficus Lyrata (Fiddle-leaf Fig, Fiddle-leaf, Banjo Fig, Lyre-leaf Figtree) is renowned for its large, glossy, violin-shaped leaves that can grow up to 18 inches long and 12 inches wide. The leaves are leathery in texture, with prominent veins and a wavy margin. The leaves are dark green with a lighter green underside. New leaves may have a slightly reddish tint before maturing to the deep green color. Young plants have a single, upright stem, but mature plants can develop a woody trunk with branches. When grown indoors, Ficus Lyrata typically reaches heights of 6 to 10 feet, although it can be pruned to maintain a desired shape and size. The plant grows upright and has a tendency to become top-heavy as it matures. Its large, striking leaves make it a focal point in any room. The plant adds a touch of elegance and can enhance interior decor. Ficus Lyrata can contribute to a calming atmosphere and improve mental well-being.
