Loving Care Helps Ficus Lyrata Thrive Under Skilled Ownership Ficus lyrata, also known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig, demands regular maintenance from experienced growers. Watering, for instance, requires great care; this species is extremely sensitive to excessive moisture levels and can quickly develop root rot if the pot is left too wet. The tree loves being fertilized every few months with a balanced liquid feed. When new growth begins, you should switch to a slightly more potent solution to promote leaf formation and stem strength. The goal is to produce large leaves, but without allowing them to become overabundant or spindly. Some people worry that their Ficus lyrata will be attacked by insects or diseases if it doesn't receive enough water, so they continue watering as soon as the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to touch. Others worry about potential problems caused when there's not enough room in the pot, causing root pressure. This species of tree should have more space in its growing medium. Ficus lyrata trees can handle quite a bit of stress before being subjected to disease or infestation from unwanted critters, which is good for novice gardeners who wish to care for this kind of plant.
