The Ficus Lyrata, commonly known as the fiddle leaf fig, is recognisable by its large, dark green leaves with a distinctive fiddle-like shape and a glossy surface. The sturdy, upright trunk gives the plant a clear vertical silhouette. It is available in heights from 170 to 270 cm, with corresponding pot sizes ranging from Ø30 to Ø45 cm.
The bold foliage and substantial scale make this plant well suited as a focal point in lobbies, office spaces, hotel corridors and retail interiors. Its upright growth habit means it fits comfortably in narrow spaces where a wide planting scheme is not practical but a green accent is still desirable.
The plant does best in bright, indirect light and has average water requirements: allow the top layer of compost to dry out before watering again. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage. Select the height based on the available clearance in the room; the pot size scales with the variant chosen. Each plant is dispatched in a sturdy, purpose-built box with a protective sleeve and secured fixings to ensure it arrives undamaged.
Can this plant be used both indoors and outdoors? Yes, the Ficus Lyrata is primarily an indoor plant but can also be placed outside in a warm, sheltered spot. Direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf burn.
How much maintenance does this plant require in a commercial setting? Maintenance is straightforward. Allow the top layer of compost to dry before watering and ensure the pot has adequate drainage. The plant needs less water in winter. Beyond that, it requires little routine attention.
How do I choose the right height for the space? Variants range from 170 to 270 cm. Take into account the available ceiling clearance and the distance from adjacent furniture or walls. The pot size scales with the selected height, from Ø30 to Ø45 cm.
Can I order multiple units for a single project? Yes, ordering per unit or in larger quantities for a project is possible. All items in one order are dispatched together, so delivery arrives in a single consignment.
How is the plant packaged and what is the lead time? Each plant is shipped in a sturdy box designed specifically for indoor plants. The soil and plant are protected by a cover and the plant is secured inside the box. The lead time is five working days.
