Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig, is a popular and visually striking indoor plant that belongs to the Moraceae family. The "Branched" variety typically refers to a Fiddle Leaf Fig with a branched or multi-trunk growth habit. Here's a description and care guide for Ficus lyrata Branched:
Leaves: The Fiddle Leaf Fig is known for its large, violin-shaped leaves that are glossy and dark green. In the branched variety, the plant may have multiple stems or trunks emerging from the base, each bearing large leaves. The leaves are often deeply lobed and have a distinct veining pattern.
Trunk/Branches: Ficus lyrata Branched has a more bushy or tree-like appearance due to the presence of multiple trunks. The trunks can develop a woody texture over time.
Size: The size of Ficus lyrata Branched can vary, but it tends to be more compact compared to the single-trunked varieties. The overall height and spread depend on factors like age, care, and environmental conditions.
Care Guide:
Light: Fiddle Leaf Figs prefer bright, indirect light. Place your Ficus lyrata Branched near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can lead to leaf burn.
Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment. Ficus lyrata prefers temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) and should be protected from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Fiddle Leaf Figs are sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly and ensure proper drainage.
Humidity: Ficus lyrata appreciates higher humidity levels. If the air in your home is dry, consider increasing humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water near the plant.
Soil: Plant Ficus lyrata in well-draining, aerated soil. A mix formulated for tropical plants or a combination of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your Ficus lyrata with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or eliminate fertilizer in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows.
Pruning: Prune your Fiddle Leaf Fig to shape it and remove any damaged or yellowing leaves. You can also prune for size control. Use clean, sharp pruning shears.
Pest Management: Keep an eye out for common pests such as spider mites, scale, and aphids. Wipe the leaves regularly to prevent dust buildup and discourage pests.
Repotting: Repot your Ficus lyrata when it outgrows its current container or when the soil becomes depleted. This is typically done every 2-3 years.
Support: If your Fiddle Leaf Fig Branched has multiple trunks that are top-heavy, you may need to provide support with stakes to prevent leaning.
Ficus lyrata Branched is a beautiful and architectural indoor plant that can add a touch of elegance to your home. With proper care, including the right light conditions, watering routine, and attention to humidity, you can enjoy a healthy and thriving Fiddle Leaf Fig with multiple trunks.
