I've recently become interested in adding a Ficus lyrata, also known as the fiddle leaf fig, to my indoor plant collection. I've heard they can be a bit finicky but I love their look and want to give it a try. I'm curious about a few things before I take the plunge: What kind of light does the Ficus lyrata thrive in? Can it handle low light, or does it need bright, indirect sunlight? How often should I water it? I've heard conflicting advice about keeping the soil moist versus letting it dry out completely between waterings. Are there any common issues I should be aware of, like pests or diseases? Any tips on repotting? How do I know when it's time to move it to a bigger pot? Lastly, are there any specific fertilizers that work best for this plant? Any advice from experienced Ficus lyrata owners would be greatly appreciated!
