Description

The fiddle leaf fig is the ultimate drama queen of houseplants—gorgeous, demanding, and absolutely worth every ounce of effort you'll invest in keeping her happy and thriving. She's what Pinterest dreams are made of, commanding attention wherever you place her. She's considered a status symbol in modern home décor circles.

With those iconic violin-shaped leaves that can reach 18 inches long, this Ficus lyrata transforms any space into a sophisticated jungle. Originally from West African rainforests, she's traded her wild roots for designer living rooms worldwide. This fiddle leaf fig plant grows 12-18 inches annually indoors, usually reaching 6-8 feet of pure elegance. If you want to make even more of a statement, buy the 9-10’ Huge size fiddle leaf fig. 



Care 

Do fiddle leaf figs need direct sunlight? 

Your fiddle leaf fig craves bright, indirect sunlight like a celebrity craves the spotlight—constantly but not too harshly, or she'll throw a spectacular tantrum and completely ruin her picture-perfect appearance and health.

She'll tolerate some direct morning sun if gradually acclimated, but harsh afternoon rays will leave her looking like she spent too long at the beach without sunscreen. East-facing windows are her sweet spot for fiddle leaf fig care.


Is a fiddle leaf fig high maintenance?

If you want to say the quiet part out loud, yes, the fiddle leaf fig tree is high maintenance. But she also makes every room feel significantly more stylish just by existing there, gracefully and dramatically, every single day.

She demands consistent watering schedules, specific humidity levels, and hates being moved around. But master her needs, and you'll have a stunning statement piece that purifies your air while making your home look like a design magazine spread.


Is the fiddle leaf fig a good indoor plant?

The fiddle leaf fig makes an absolutely exceptional indoor plant for dedicated plant parents who genuinely appreciate dramatic beauty and don't mind investing time and effort in proper fiddle leaf fig care routines and ongoing maintenance tasks.

Her large, glossy leaves create instant sophistication while naturally purifying your indoor air. She's perfect for bright living rooms, spacious bedrooms, or that corner that desperately needs a living sculpture.


Do fiddle leaf figs like being in a bathroom? 

Fiddle leaf figs absolutely adore bathrooms with windows. They provide the perfect magical combination of humidity and filtered light that reminds her of her tropical rainforest origins in West and Central Africa. She’s living her best life every day. 

The steam from your showers creates a spa-like environment she absolutely adores. Just ensure there's adequate natural light—she won't forgive you for stashing her in a windowless bathroom cave.


Do fiddle leaf figs need sun or shade? 

Fiddle leaf figs prefer bright, indirect sunlight rather than deep shade or harsh direct sun, striking the perfect delicate balance like a supermodel carefully finding her best lighting angle for photography sessions and glamorous professional selfies every time.

 

How do I know if my fiddle leaf fig is happy? 

A happy fiddle leaf fig displays upright, glossy green leaves with steady new growth and zero dramatic leaf-dropping episodes (they would make even the most theatrical soap opera stars jealous of her captivating daily performance in your home).


Do fiddle leaf figs need to be by a window? 

Fiddle leaf figs absolutely need strategic placement near a window that receives bright, indirect light for at least six hours daily to maintain their stunning, Instagram-worthy appearance and overall health throughout the entire growing season and beyond always.

East-facing windows provide ideal morning light without harsh afternoon sun. South-facing windows work with sheer curtains for filtering. Avoid cold drafts from windows during winter months.


Where should I put my fiddle leaf fig indoors? 

Place your fiddle leaf fig plant near an east-facing window, in a bright bathroom with natural light, or grouped with other humidity-loving plants. These optimal growing conditions perfectly mimic her natural tropical rainforest habitat.

Avoid high-traffic areas where she might get bumped, spots near heating vents or air conditioners, and dark corners where she'll sulk. She prefers consistent temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C).


How often should I water my fiddle leaf fig? 

Water your fiddle leaf fig when the top two to three inches of soil feel completely dry, typically once weekly during the active growing season. Water less frequently during the dormant winter months.

Check soil moisture with your finger or a moisture meter across multiple spots in the pot. When watering, do it thoroughly until water drains from the bottom. Consistency prevents the leaf-dropping dramatics she's famous for.


Should I mist my fiddle leaf fig? 

Misting your fiddle leaf fig every few days helps increase humidity around her large leaves. It’s a great way to mimic the moist African rainforest conditions where she originally learned to be absolutely fabulous and gorgeously dramatic.

Use filtered or distilled water to prevent leaf spots from mineral buildup. Alternatively, place her on a pebble tray filled with water or run a humidifier nearby for consistent moisture.


Should I put coffee grounds in my fiddle leaf fig? 

Skip the coffee grounds for your fiddle leaf fig—she's already high-strung enough without caffeine. Plus, coffee grounds can alter soil pH while potentially encouraging unwanted mold growth problems that significantly damage her delicate root health system and overall plant wellness.

Stick with balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer every 1-2 months during spring and summer. She prefers consistent, gentle feeding over experimental soil amendments that might upset her delicate root system.


Are fiddle leaf figs sensitive to tap water? 

Fiddle leaf figs can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water like chlorine and fluoride. Use filtered water, distilled water, or let tap water sit overnight before watering to allow chemicals to evaporate. This simple step keeps her looking magazine-ready.


What fertilizer should I use on my fiddle leaf fig? 

Use a balanced, general-purpose liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength every one to two months during spring and summer seasons for optimal fiddle leaf fig tree care and consistently healthy growth patterns throughout the entire growing period ahead.

Stop fertilizing during fall and winter when her growth naturally slows. Over-feeding causes more problems than under-feeding with this dramatic beauty, so less is definitely more.




Pet-friendly?

Fiddle leaf figs are not pet-friendly as they are toxic to both cats and dogs. They cause oral irritation, drooling, and gastrointestinal upset if ingested. It’s not actually deadly, but it really should be kept out of reach of curious pets who might chew on the leaves.


Are fiddle leaf figs poisonous to cats?

Fiddle leaf figs are toxic to cats and can cause oral irritation, excessive drooling, and gastrointestinal upset. Don’t let your curious feline sample those tempting, broad green leaves as an experimental snack or chew toy for entertainment purposes.

Keep her well out of reach of climbing cats. The sap can also irritate skin upon contact.


Are fiddle leaf figs toxic to dogs? 

Fig leaf trees are toxic to dogs, causing similar symptoms as in cats including mouth irritation, drooling, and digestive issues if your pup takes an experimental nibble of the large attractive leaves for any reason during their daily activities.

Position your fiddle leaf fig plant in a location where curious dogs can't reach the leaves. Consider pet-safe alternatives if you have particularly persistent plant-munching pets.


Factoids

How fast do fiddle leaf figs grow? 

Fiddle leaf figs grow 12 to 18 inches per year indoors when provided with proper care conditions. Most plant shops will say they reach six to eight foot tall, but if you want a real living sculpture, check out our Huge sizes, which reach up to 9-10 feet.

(Don’t believe it? Hop on a video call and we’ll show you!)

Growth rate depends on lighting, watering consistency, and seasonal changes. Fiddle grows most actively during spring and summer months, slowing down during fall and winter.


Do fiddle leaf figs clean the air? 

Fiddle leaf figs naturally purify indoor air by removing common household toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene while adding fresh oxygen and natural humidity to your living space throughout the day and night hours of every single day.

NASA's Clean Air Study specifically recognized fig plants as effective air purifiers. She's basically a living air filter that happens to look incredibly chic while improving your indoor environment.


Do fiddle leaf figs represent anything? 

Fiddle leaf figs symbolize prosperity, abundance, good luck (and impeccable taste in interior design!), making them popular choices for those seeking both sophisticated style and positive energy at home or office spaces everywhere around the world today.

In feng shui, large leafy plants like the fiddle leaf fig tree represent growth and abundance. 


How did fiddle leaf figs get their name? 

Fiddle leaf figs earned their name from their distinctive violin-shaped leaves, with the botanical name Ficus lyrata referencing the lyre, a stringed instrument similar to traditional fiddles used in folk music and classical performances throughout history and culture.

We're afraid she won't help you play Mozart, but she'll certainly make your home look like a symphony of style (and we think that’s even better).

“Did any other leader in the twentieth century do more to improve the lives of so many? Did any other twentieth-century leader have such a large and lasting influence on world history?” This is how Ezra Vogel concludes his massive 700-page tome, “Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China.” Indeed, who else in history has raised more people out of poverty? There may be no definitively right answer, but Vogel makes a convincing case that Deng Xiaoping has a better claim than anyone else. While lengthy, this book is an easy read and provides fascinating insights and lots of detail on how Deng and his forward-thinking policies turned China from a backward, poverty stricken basket case in the wake of the disastrous Cultural Revolution to an economic superpower in a single generation. It has been a revolution every bit as astonishing and impactful to world history as the Japanese Meiji Restoration of the late nineteenth century. Vogel’s narrative focuses mainly on the years from Mao’s death in 1976 to Deng’s retirement in 1992. Deng’s quite eventful first 65 years of life are covered in just 45 pages; China’s dramatic growth over the two decades since his retirement receive a mere 20 pages of attention. This book could have been called the “Deng Restoration,” the decade-and-a-half period when the Chinese leader blazed a new path, normalizing Chinese foreign relations and assiduously laying the political and economic groundwork for China’s improbably rapid rise from a self-isolated Third World Country into a global leader in manufacturing and burgeoning superpower just beginning to stretch its legs and demand its rightful place in the sun, to paraphrase Bismark. What struck me most about Deng’s leadership and policies, besides their remarkable success, was their consistency – and authority. His power was strictly personal, not positional; Deng was never chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, nor Premier of the Chinese government. Rather, he was something else, the “preeminent leader,” officially only vice chairman of the party and chairman of the Central Military Commission. Aging and hard of hearing, he rarely attended Politburo meetings. Yet, “it is doubtful that anyone [other than Deng] had the combination of authority, depth and breadth of experience, strategic sense, assurance, personal relationships, and political judgment needed to manage China’s transformation with comparable success,” Vogel writes. When he came to power in the late 1970s, he had very firm ideas on what needed to be done, plans that Vogel claims matured in Deng’s mind during his long and humiliating five year exile in Jiangxi working at a tractor factory during the Cultural Revolution. First, stability and unity were paramount in Deng’s plans, according to Vogel. He knew that the economic transformation China must go through would be wrenching and tumultuous, and he believed that only the Communist Party, with its discipline and order, could effectively manage the change. He had to maintain a delicate balance between encouraging innovative thinking and freedom of expression while maintaining the unquestioned rule of the Communist Party. In 1978, Deng formulated the Four Cardinal Principles, essentially four red lines that could not be crossed in China (socialist path; dictatorship of the proletariat; leadership of the Communist Party; Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought), and he never waivered from them. In fact, his most controversial and unpopular decision – the military crackdown at Tiananmen Square in 1989 – was taken precisely because the protests were openly challenging the Four Cardinal Principles. Although he was an ambitious reformer, he was a Communist first-and-foremost. When his two top lieutenants and official heads of party and state, respectively, Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang, were seen as going soft on dissidents, he had them unceremoniously cashiered. It was the outpouring of love for Hu at his death in 1989, along with frustration at how he had been treated by Deng and the Party, that sparked the Tiananmen protests, a movement that became truly dangerous when Zhao resigned rather than acquiesce to Deng’s call for martial law. Second, vast improvements in science, technology and education would be the cornerstone of Deng’s policies. Vogel describes Deng as obsessed with the importance of education and the critical role in advanced technology in China’s future. At roughly the same time that Deng formulated the Four Cardinal Principles to guide political discussion in China, he also developed the Four Modernizations, the areas in which the government would concentrate efforts to learn, grow and improve: 1) science and technology; 2) industry; 3) agriculture; and 4) defense. Again, Deng and the Chinese government remained steadfast in pursuing these objectives even when they led in politically sensitive directions, such as dropping class background from college admission criteria and instead relying solely on meritocratic entrance exams; encouraging thousands of students to study overseas, especially in Western countries, exposing them to potential “dangerous” ideas; establishing special economic zones (SEZ) along the coast to promote capitalist investment and trade, even though they encouraged graft and corruption; and the dramatic downsizing of the People’s Liberation Army to create a more highly educated and technologically savvy armed forces. “Deng was unique in that he pushed doors open far wider – to foreign ideas, foreign technology, and foreign capital – than his predecessors, and he presided over the difficult process of expanding the opening despite the disruptions it caused,” Vogel writes. Third, Deng was adamant that China must be fully engaged in world affairs. He was very much his own foreign policy strategist and built his policies around a few basic objectives. Above all, Soviet expansion must be stoutly resisted. Deng went to war – “Deng’s War,” Vogel says – with communist neighbor Vietnam in 1979 to “teach Hanoi a lesson.” Namely, that China refused to allow Vietnam to become a hegemonic power in Southeast Asia while serving as the Soviet’s “Cuba in the East.” China’s month-long invasion captured five northern Vietnamese provincial capitals at the cost of 25,000 PLA soldiers killed in action, according to Vogel (that is, China lost half as many men in one month in Vietnam as the US did in a decade!). Next, Deng sought to normalize and improve relations with the Western world, an objective he largely achieved, although the backlash from Tiananmen Square was sharp and prolonged. Finally, Deng desperately wanted to consolidate Chinese territory in his lifetime, achieving peace and stability in Tibet, reintegrating Hong Kong, and, most important of all, reunifying with Taiwan. The last goal was one of Deng’s great disappointments, although he did successfully prevent the Reagan administration from formally recognizing Taiwan and worked to reduce arms shipments to the island nation. “Under Deng’s leadership,” the author writes, “China truly joined the world community, becoming an active part of international organizations and of the global system of trade, finance, and relations among citizens of all walks of life.” Finally, Deng was a political virtuoso, albeit of a distinctly communist variety. Deng was well-described by US Secretary of State Cyrus Vance as “remarkable… impatient, feisty, self-confidently outspoken, direct, forceful, and clever.” Standing just five-feet-tall, with limited formal education and a lifelong habit of using a spittoon even when negotiating directly with world leaders in the West, Deng was nevertheless a man of immense natural ability and innate political instincts. Unlike the “mercurial” Mao, who Vogel describes as “ranked high among world leaders” in megalomania and lust for power, Deng was personally humble, wanting nothing more than to serve his country and then be forgotten. Upon his death, he donated his corneas for eye research, his internal organs to medical science, was cremated and had his ashes scattered into the sea. There would be no “Cult of Deng” if he had anything to say about it. A deeply and sincerely committed communist, he was nevertheless open-minded and had no use for communist dogma. He was highly opposed to Mao’s revolutionary radicalism, yet sensitive to charges of being the “Chinese Khrushchev.” He quickly worked to overthrow the so-called “Gang of Four” after Mao’s death, but steadfastly espoused a flexible, results oriented approach to reform. “It doesn’t matter if the cat is black or white, just so long as it catches mice,” he liked to say. He used his liberal approach to outmaneuver and then oust Mao’s handpicked successor, the middle-aged cipher Hua Goufeng, who stumbled badly in 1977 when he penned an editorial claiming that future policy “will resolutely uphold whatever policy decisions Chairman Mao made, and unswervingly follow whatever instructions Chairman Mao gave” (the so-called “Two Whatevers”). Deng had different ideas – and they would prevail. Although he a had clear vision for where China should go conceptually, Deng honestly admitted that he had to “grope for stones as he crossed the river” the entire time, never knowing for certain which approach was best, but always open to learning-by-doing. “Don’t argue, just push ahead,” was a favorite mantra. His SEZ experiment at Shenzhen was controversial, but ultimately successful beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. And unlike Dahzai, Mao’s experimental ideal collective community, Chinese leaders and others flocked to Shenzhen out of genuine interest rather than political expediency. Twenty-first century China is Deng’s China. If the sun is setting on the American century and rising in the East, no one man had more to do with it than Deng Xiaoping, a man Vogel believes may be one of the greatest men in his nation’s long history. “The transition from a predominantly rural to a predominantly urban society and the spread of common national culture are among the most fundamental changes that have occurred in Chinese history since the country’s unification in 221 BC,” Vogel declares, and it was mainly the work of one little, unassuming man from a small village in Szechuan.

An important biography of one of the major figures in China's transformation
Format: Paperback
A wonderful biography of Deng Xiaoping. There is more emphasis on the later as opposed to earlier years of his life. He was a survivor, having been purged twice by Chairman Mao Zedong. But Mao was not to be finished with Deng--keeping him on the backburner in case he needed his skills later on. The book provides background for his ultimate leadership of China. Deng was "taken down" during the Cultural Revolution, an enormous upheaval of Chinese society orchestrated by Mao. Deng and his family were essentially "exiled." When the time came for Mao to recall him and address excesses of the Cultural Revolution, Deng was slowly put back into harness for a short period of time. The time came when, again, Mao began to distrust Deng and even put the cold shoulder to Zhou Enlai, Mao's long time lieutenant. After a brief exile, Deng was again readmitted into a leadership role. The book then goes on to outline how, through political acumen and skills at coalition building, slowly became the # 1 leader, leaving Mao's successor out of power. The book has several areas where it explores Deng's career as leader. His role in upgrading the state of science and education is one focal point. There is a nice discussion of his reaching out to other countries to bring China up to speed in modernizing its economy, its military, and so on. The book also considers economic his economic policies, as Deng tried to jump start China's economy, based on fairly rapid growth (with the risk of inflation). His tactics to do this are described well. There is also discussion of his role in the military. He knew that the army was too large, too many senior officers had outlived their usefulness, and the war technology was not up to modern armies. How he was able to make progress in these (and other) sectors is fascinating. The book also addresses what appear to be some difficult choices that suggest some problematic decision making by Deng. His invasion of Vietnam is portrayed by Deng as a major factor in addressing Vietnam's aggressiveness. I think that the book's author might have had a somewhat more critical take on this event. Too, there is Deng's decision to bring the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to Beijing to put down the Tienanmen Square protests. After his retirement, his successors became, in Deng's mind, too cautious with the economy. There is a fascinating tale told of how he used his political skills to get China on a pathway toward more rapid growth. It shows Deng as a wily political figure, who even in his eighties could bend events toward his desires. All in all, a detailed biography, overall well done, of one of the most important figures in the late 20th century. The book might have been even better with a more critical assessment of Deng's work at some points. Still and all, an important work.

Great book, so-so cover.
Format: Paperback
I must say, it is a top quality door-stop. My girlfriend gave me this book about six months before she left because she found it super informative, but I have to say that I knew how I would use it from the start. I mean, the weight of this thing could be easily understated by 0.2 to 0.3 lbs... The muted blue palette over the cover is an unobtrusive way to make sure the door stays open by just the right amount without it being too heavy or tough on hardwood floors (like a brick or a big rock). Why not five stars? The guy on the cover seems to creep out my cat. Maybe they should have put Mr. Bean or some other comically expressive figure on the cover rather than some random Thai guy...

Superb biography and history.
Format: Hardcover
I read this book prior to a tour of China a few months ago. I remember the old videos of China in the '60's and '70's showing the Chinese wearing Mao suits and riding bicycles. Now Beijing and Shanghai have freeways like L.A. filled with Audis, Buicks and other modern cars polluting the air. Much of the population dresses stylishly, particularly the young (many of them the "spoiled children" resulting from the one child law). They have a railroad that is an engineering marvel that goes to Lhasa, Tibet reaching an altitude of 16,000' on the way. Shanghai is the busiest port in the world and has spectacular skyscrapers. Do they have problems? Yes, huge ones including pollution of all sorts, lack of individual freedoms, a restless population among both the poor and well to do, rebellious minorities, and corruption throughout the ruling communist party. Still the changes in the last 30 years are astounding. No one man is responsible for all this but Deng must get the credit for leading the country to a more pragmatic economic path. No small task after the multiple debacles left behind by Mao and his ideological fantasies. It seems to be that the more ideological a political leader becomes the further he becomes separated from reality - whether the ideology is left or right. And if the ideological stance is extreme they soon begin killing people. Mao killed some by intent and millions by incompetent leadership and egotism. Deng and his supporters led hundreds of millions out of poverty. He was no angel and was part of a bad system throughout his long adult life. But his life is a great story and I would recommend this book strongly to anyone with an interest in modern China.

If you have to read only one book on China, pls pick up this one. Dr Vogel has done an amazing job writing about one of the greatest leaders in modern times. In order to understand the enormity of Deng's achievement, one needs to first appreciate the damage that Mao did to the country. Vogel gives a good background of that but quickly moves on to Deng. The approach described has value in achieving anything in life: Do more, talk less. Boldy try and if unsuccessful, adjust and try again. Choose good people, empower them and let them do their jobs. Respect the predecessors - watch his restraint at criticizing Mao - the man who made his life so miserable - 3 times! While his adoration of Deng is obvious, Vogel was also able to describe the human and less admirable side of Deng, most obviously, his handling of Tiananmen on June 4, 1989 and how he punished his protege (and one many regards as a just and capable patriot: Zhao Ziyang). China has gone through several leaders since Deng. But in spite of having all his history to learn from, none have come close, much less equalled the achievements of this great leader. Running a country is not easy. The larger it is, the more exponentially difficult. With more than a billion people, China is almost impossible to manage. Almost. Deng managed to and he did it extraordinarily well. This is his story. So well told that even Deng, would have approved. At $17, you really can't get a better bargain. I'm ordering a few more copies to give away to friends who really want to understand modern China.
