6" Lyrata

Indirect sunlight is best. Placing your Lyrata near a window or skylight will ensure it has enough light to remain healthy in your environment. Avoid any direct sunlight, as it could stunt it’s growth or even kill the plant.

Rotation is also key! You will quickly notice your Lyrata will tend to bend and reach towards the light. Rotate the plant so it needs to bend the opposite way. This will ensure it grows tall and straight.

Best practice is to stick your fingers a few inches into the soil to see how dry or wet it is. If the soil is dry a few inches down, go ahead and water your Lyrata. If you feel that the soil is moist, hold off on watering until the soil is dry. Do not let your Lyrata sit in water for more than a day or two. Watering with room temperature or lukewarm water is best.

Plan on re-fertilizing your Lyrata once or twice a year. Specifically with rich, well-drained peaty soil. Once your Fiddle Leaf outgrows it’s pot/container, the roots will begin to become crowded and actually grow through the drainage hold. This can cause circulations issues and even root rot. Give your Lyrata a new home so it can grow to it’s true potential!

Wiping down your Lyrata is a MUST! Those big leafs do a great job of collecting dust, which can prevent the plant from absorbing sunlight and key nutrients. Using a damp cloth, wipe down the leaves on your Lyrata once a month. Not only will this ensure it says healthy, but looking great as well.
