How to grow large-leaf fiddle-leaf fig

2. Proper lighting

It does not have too many requirements for light and can grow well under bright diffuse light. In summer, pay attention to blocking the sunlight and do not expose it to the sun, otherwise the leaves will be sunburned and marks will form on them. You can have more contact with it in winter because the intensity of sunlight outside is lower.

Its leaves grow large and wide, so it needs a lot of fertilizer. Fertilizer should be applied according to specific needs. Spring and summer are the growth stages, and compound fertilizer should be applied every half a month. The proportion should be balanced to ensure that the leaves are dark green and shiny. During the period from fall to winter, demand decreases and fertilizer should no longer be applied.

4. Replenish water

It grows very fast and needs sufficient water. Watering should be applied according to its growth and watered thoroughly at one time. You also need to spray water on the leaves to clean them.

5. Temperature range

It is a plant that cannot tolerate cold, so the temperature must be kept good in winter, at least above 8℃.
