Ficus lyrata, commonly known as the fiddle-leaf fig, is a popular houseplant recognized for its large, glossy leaves that resemble the shape of a fiddle. Native to the tropical rainforests of West Africa, this plant can grow up to 10 feet tall indoors, making it a striking addition to any space. The fiddle-leaf fig thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. It requires regular watering, but overwatering can lead to root rot. This plant is also known for its air-purifying qualities, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
