Plant Care
Fertilizer/ feed for the plant: Feed your Ficus Lyrata a decent fertiliser monthly during the summer to encourage development and achieve lush foliage. Because plant development naturally slows during the winter, there is no need to fertilise it throughout the winter.
Repotting : Because the Ficus Lyrata prefers to grow in a small container, repot it only when the plant gets root bound. Spring is the optimum time to repot your Fiddle Leaf Fig. Choose a pot that is 2 to 3 inches bigger in diameter than your existing pot, and avoid repotting in the winter because plant development is slower. Propagation: You may propagate your Fiddle Leaf Fig by clipping a leaf or a stem. Select a cutting that is at least 6-8 inches long and has at least one leaf node. The cuttings can then be rooted in water or soil, and roots develop from the leaf node.
