Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I'm Claire, and I love fiddle leaf fig plants! I'm a writer, gardener, houseplant lover, and fiddle leaf fig grower. I have an outdoor garden with twenty-one hybrid tea roses. My twenty-six houseplants include at least a dozen varieties, but my favorites are my half-dozen fiddle leaf fig plants. I wrote this guide to share what I've learned about growing healthy and vibrant fiddle leaf figs.

It drives me crazy when people tell me that fiddle leaf fig plants are hard to grow. There are certain plants that are challenging (I'm looking at you, maidenhair fern), but a Ficus lyrata (fiddle leaf fig) is not of one them.

Fiddle leaf fig trees are among the easiest and most rewarding plants to own. There are only a few simple things that can go wrong with them, and these are relatively easy to remedy. The plants are also resistant to pests and disease (unlike my twenty-one prize roses).

The fiddle leaf fig has become one of the most popular house plants in the world in recent years. In 2016, The New York Times called fiddle leaf figs "The 'It' Plant of the Design World." They've been featured in home interior magazines, gone viral on Pinterest, and even made cameos in about a dozen Super Bowl commercials in 2018.

Yet there remains an astounding lack of information available on how to care properly for your fiddle leaf fig plant. Much of the information available on the internet is unreliable and overly simplified. Some of the information out there is just plain wrong and can harm your plant.

For fiddle leaf fig lovers who want to understand what their plant needs to thrive, to confidently diagnose problems, and to provide the best care for their plant, resources are lacking. That's why I have written this guide. It's my goal to explain everything I know about growing a gorgeous fiddle leaf fig plant without stressing. I've avoided overly scientific explanations and focused on the most helpful, clear, and actionable information.

As a writer and a fiddle leaf fig lover, I created this resource to provide helpful information so that you can feel more confident and enjoy your plant more. My aim is for this to be the only resource on fiddle leaf figs that you'll ever need. I hope it helps you and your plant!

I just finished repotting my first large Fiddle Leaf Fig into a larger pot. While I have experience with different plants, this was different and I was very unsure. With the help of this book it went well. It is an easy-to-understand source of information. Very pleased.

This book saved my fiddle leaf figs!!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

After bringing home two rather pricey 6 foot fiddle leaf figs to the perfect surroundings they started to drop leaf after leaf soon after arrival. In reading the book, I learned the reason was not due to my lack of proper care but due to the potting in which they had been maintained prior to purchase.
The root balls were huge and had shrunken resulting in air space between the root balls and the pots. I quickly added handfulls of indoor potting soil around the edges as well as on top without delay and proceeded with advice provided by the author. Since that time the plants have not lost anymore leaves.
It was very helpful to learn the difference between browning of the leaves when underwatering vs when over watering.
