The fiddle leaf fig is a great statement plant to have in your indoors. They are native from tropical parts of Africa. They love warm and wet conditions, as they come from hot, humid and rainy environments. Their leaves are green and big, so they need a good amount of sunlight and moisture for photosynthesis.
Due to its heavily built leaves, they need good sunlight falling on the complete plants. Each cell produces food for the total plant. If you see the bottom leaves droopy, that means this part of the plant is not getting enough light.
Clean the leaves frequently to dust of the leaves to help them for photosynthesis and making it look good. The dark big leaves can show up dust easily and it does not look attractive.
Light:
They need bright indirect light to grow and look bushy and beautiful. They can tolerate direct morning sun light. Placing them away from the window will not help the plant grow and the plant placed in low light conditions will kill the plant eventually.
Water:
Water the plant to keep the soil moist. Don't over water the plant, as it might cause root rot. Water One-fourths the volume of the pot of water and let it dry. Water once in 3-4 days depending upon the lighting conditions it is exposed to.
Soil:
Well draining soil mix will do good for this plant. Indoor soil mix(Cocopeat, perlite & vermiculite) with some coarse soil will help grow nice. Fertilising with high nitrogen based fertiliser will help the plant.
