How To Make Your Plants Happy: Dwarf Fiddle Leaf Fig Care Guide

Light

This plant needs bright, indirect light without any harsh or direct sunshine. A sunny, east-facing window is great for this plant.

Water

Water when the top 1" of the soil is dry, about once a week. Reduce watering in winter. It prefers room temperature water as cold water may shock it. Follow a consistent watering schedule to make the plant most happy. Overwatering will harm the plant.

Environment

The ideal temperature is 65ºF - 75ºF. Avoid temperatures below 50ºF as the plant is sensitive to cold drafts and may develop brown spots. The plant likes humidity but does not require it. Recommended to occasionally mist the plant, especially in winter when the air is more dry.

Growth

The Little Sunshine Fiddle Leaf Fig grows up to about 2' to 3' tall indoors. It does not require too much fertilizing, during the spring and summer feed it a diluted fertilizer once a month.

Repotting

Repot this plant every spring to replenish the soil with needed nutrients. For the first few years, size up your pot 1" at a time. After it reaches the mature height, give the plant fresh soil every spring and replant into the same pot size. Use a well-draining soil with bark and perlite mixed in. Be sure to use a pot with drainage as this plant does not like to sit in water.

Propagating

We recommend to not propagate this plant to avoid injury to the plant. 

Toxicity

Toxic to cats and dogs. If ingested, can cause oral irritation or vomiting.
