Botanical name: Hypoestes Pyllostachya
The leaves are what gives this plant its name: they are splattered with white, pink, or red polka dots. While these plants look great alone, they look amazing in mixed planters as well.
Light
Fiddle leaf figs prefer lots of bright, filtered light. Keep your fiddle leaf fig near a sunny, east-facing window so it can take in lots of sunshine throughout the day.
Water
Wait for the top inch of your fiddle leaf fig tree’s soil to dry before you pick up your watering can. Its best to fertilize your FLF mainly in the growth season, which is Spring and Summer. You can water your FLF weekly. Then once a month (or every 4 weeks).
Care level
This plant needs medium care.
