WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE

You will receive one Ficus Lyrata Bambino in a 6-inch pot, similar to the listing photos. Each plant is unique, so leaf size, shape, plant height, and fullness may vary.

☀️ LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Place your Fiddle Leaf Fig Bambino in bright, indirect light. A bright room near a window is ideal. Gentle morning sunlight may be suitable after acclimation, but protect the leaves from harsh direct afternoon sun to help prevent scorching. Rotate the pot occasionally to encourage balanced growth.

💧 WATERING

Allow the top portion of the potting mix to dry before watering again. Water thoroughly until excess water drains from the bottom, and never leave the plant sitting in standing water. Watering frequency depends on light, temperature, humidity, and pot size, so check the soil instead of relying on a fixed weekly schedule.

🪴 SOIL & POTTING

Use a loose, nutrient-rich, well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture while allowing air to reach the roots. A pot with drainage holes is essential to help prevent waterlogged soil and root rot.

Repot when the roots become crowded, moving up one pot size at a time. Avoid unnecessarily large containers that hold excess moisture.

🌡️ TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY

This tropical plant prefers warm, stable indoor conditions, ideally above 60°F (15°C). Keep it away from cold drafts, air-conditioning vents, and sudden temperature changes. Moderate to higher humidity can support healthy foliage, although stable light and watering conditions are equally important.

🌱 FERTILIZING & MAINTENANCE

During active growth, feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer according to the product label. Reduce or pause feeding when growth slows.

Wipe the broad leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust. Rotate the plant periodically, and remove damaged leaves with clean pruning tools when needed. Some leaf drop may occur after a change in location while the plant adjusts.
