About Fiddle-leaf Fig
The Fiddle-Leaf Fig has surged in popularity in the last years driven by its prevalence on Pinterest and Instagram. It is a highly popular Big-leaf houseplant for your home and office or a big outdoor tree in your tropical garden. It features broad, eye-catching fiddle-shaped leaves at the tip of a thin stem. In addition to being attractive, there are also health benefits of the fiddle-leaf fig plant.
Fiddle-leaf fig plants don’t normally produce blossoms when they are planted indoors. they are a wonderful option for homes of people who have allergies to various forms of pollen. However, Ficus genus plants, which include fiddle-leaf figs, do contain some latex, which can aggravate people who have latex allergies. They can cause skin rashes when handled directly, and they can trigger respiratory issues when breathed in through the air.

Fiddle-leaf Fig Story
In the wild, Fiddle-leaf figs can grow as tall as 30m but about 2m tall indoors.
Fiddle Leaf Figs start life as epiphytes, as their seeds germinate on top of other trees, before their roots grow towards the ground over the other tree, eventually suffocating it.
Is Fiddle-leaf Fig The Right Plant For Me?
*However, a fiddle-leaf fig might not be the best houseplant choice if you have kids or pets who might try to sample your plant’s leaves. Fiddle-leaf fig leaves and stems contain a thick white sap high in calcium oxalate crystals, so if you do have kids/pets and a fiddle-leaf fig, it’s important to prevent your kids/pets from eating your plant or getting the sap on their skin or in their eyes.
