Questions about the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree 7 ½ - 8ft tall Extra Large Flute
A lush and sculptural plant with elegant violin-shaped leaves, the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree is the most popular amongst the Fiddle family and makes for a dramatic addition to any indoor space. This plant needs bright indirect light.
Can fiddle leaf fig trees be grown outdoors?
Fiddle Leaf Fig trees (Ficus lyrata) are tropical plants that are native to the rainforests of West Africa. They receive bright, indirect sunlight and high humidity in their natural habitat. While it is possible to grow a fiddle leaf fig tree outdoors in certain climates, they are generally best suited for indoor cultivation in pots or containers.
Fiddle Leaf Fig trees can be grown outdoors in warmer climates where the temperature stays above freezing, but they require a location with bright, indirect sunlight and high humidity. They also need to be protected from strong winds and direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. If you live in a cooler climate and want to grow a fiddle leaf fig tree outdoors, it is best to keep it in a container that can be brought indoors during the winter months to protect it from frost.
It is important to remember that Fiddle Leaf Fig trees are not as hardy as some other types of trees and may be more prone to pests and diseases when grown outdoors. Maintaining the ideal temperature and humidity levels for these plants outdoors is also more challenging, which can affect their growth and overall health.
How big do fig trees get?
Fiddle leaf fig trees (Ficus lyrata) are a popular indoor houseplant known for their large, glossy leaves. When grown indoors, these trees typically reach a height of 6-10 feet, although they can potentially grow taller if provided with adequate care.
The size of a fiddle leaf fig tree can also depend on the size of the pot or container it is grown in. If the pot is too small, the tree may become root-bound and unable to grow to its full potential. It is a good idea to repot your fiddle leaf fig tree into a slightly larger pot every two to three years to give the roots more room to grow and to provide the plant with fresh soil.
How do I know when it's time to repot my fiddle leaf fig tree?
There are a few signs that can indicate it's time to repot your fiddle leaf fig tree:
- The roots are visibly overcrowded in the current pot: If the roots are tightly packed, and there is no longer room to grow, it may be time to repot your fiddle leaf fig tree into a larger pot.
- The plant is not growing or is growing very slowly: If your fiddle leaf fig tree is not growing or is growing very slowly, it may be because the roots are too crowded or the soil is no longer providing enough nutrients. In this case, repotting the plant into fresh soil may help stimulate new growth.
- The plant is top-heavy: If your fiddle leaf fig tree has become top-heavy and is tipping over, it may be necessary to repot it into a larger pot to provide more support.
- The pot has become too small: If the pot that your fiddle leaf fig tree is in is too small, the roots may not have enough room to grow and the plant may become root-bound. In this case, it's time to repot the plant into a larger pot.
In general, it is a good idea to repot your fiddle leaf fig tree every two to three years to provide fresh soil and give the roots more room to grow. When repotting, use a pot that is slightly larger than the current pot, as fiddle leaf fig trees do not like to be overpotted. Choose a pot with good drainage to prevent excess moisture from accumulating in the soil.
