Ficus Lyrata, or Fiddle Leaf Fig, is a popular member of the fig family Moraceae. It has large, glossy, sculptural lush green leaves with prominent leaf veins. These leaves have a violin shape and can reach 18'' in length. Ficus Lyrata is very effective in removing common airborne toxins and purifying the indoor air. Fiddle Leaf Fig, native to the tropical parts of Africa, is a huge plant. It can grow up to at least 6-10 feet tall indoors. In its native habitat, Lyrata can reach 60-100 feet in height. Most indoor Fiddle Leaf Fig plants grow upright on a sleek trunk, so they are perfect for floor-standing planters. Ficus Lytara isn't a very demanding plant, but it needs the right lighting, temperature, and humidity condition to reach. Its huge leaves needed regular cleaning, so wipe them with a wet cloth at least once per week so they can absorb more sunlight for photosynthesis. Ficus Lytara rarely blooms indoors, but when grown outdoors, it can produce insignificant flowers, which develop into small, fleshy fruits.
