Fig (Jassem)
5.000 KD
Fiddle-leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) sometimes gets a finicky reputation. It’s not the easiest houseplant to grow, but its lovely large leaves and tree form make it worth a little effort and a good choice even for the beginning gardener. These small trees are well adapted to indoor temperatures and filtered light and are hardy enough to survive less-than-ideal conditions.
If you have a window that receives bright morning light you can grow this fig. Plant in quality soil, establish a consistent watering schedule and it grows reliably and fairly quickly to between six and ten feet tall with little fuss. Fiddle-leaf fig is toxic to people and pets
