A Statement Indoor Plant for Australian Homes

The Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree (Ficus lyrata) is one of the most iconic indoor plants in Australia—loved for its large, glossy, violin-shaped leaves and bold, architectural shape. Whether you’re styling a modern living room, bright entryway, or home office, this real, living feature plant instantly adds height, texture, and a premium designer look.

With the right position (bright light and protection from cold drafts), Fiddle Leaf Figs can become long-lasting, impressive indoor trees. They also suit sheltered outdoor areas in warm conditions—think covered patios and protected courtyards.

Why You’ll Love a Fiddle Leaf Fig

  • Instant “wow” factor: Large glossy leaves create a high-end indoor styling statement.
  • Grows into a tree: Can develop into a tall indoor feature plant with time and care.
  • Perfect for interiors: Ideal for living rooms, entryways, bedrooms, and offices.
  • Works in pots: A strong container plant that looks great in decorative planters.
  • Improves the feel of a space: Adds lush greenery and a calm, natural atmosphere.

Where to Place Your Fiddle Leaf Fig

  • Indoors: Bright, indirect light near a window (morning sun is usually ideal).
  • Outdoors (sheltered): Warm, protected patios or courtyards out of harsh sun and wind.
  • Avoid: Cold drafts, heaters/air-con blasts, and constant moving—Ficus prefer consistency.

Fiddle Leaf Fig Care Guide (Australia)

  • Light: Bright, indirect light. Some gentle morning sun is beneficial.
  • Water: Water when the top few centimetres of soil feels dry. Don’t let it sit in water.
  • Soil: Free-draining premium potting mix. Good drainage is essential.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is fine; occasional leaf wipe helps plant health.
  • Feeding: Apply a balanced indoor plant fertiliser during the growing season (spring–summer).
  • Maintenance: Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth; wipe leaves to remove dust.

Tip: Fiddle leaf fig treets like regular watering and will thrive in a self watering pot.

Light requirement: Part sun/part shade and Bright indirect sunlight

Water requirement: Medium

Watering frequency: Water when the top 5-10 cm of the potting mix is dry to the touch. Do not overwater to prevent root rot. If the potting mix dries out too much, the leaves will irreversibly droop/fall. Does well in a self-watering pot, which makes giving the right amount of water easier.

Soil: For pots: premium-quality potting mix in pots that have good drainage. For the ground, well draining loam with pH between 6 - 6.5.
