Light: Needs bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight in the morning or late afternoon but avoid harsh midday sun.

Water: Water thoroughly when the top 7-10 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as the plant is prone to root rot.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Consider misting or using a pebble tray if the air is dry.

Temperature: Keep in a warm spot, ideally 18–24°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

In its native habitat in tropical Africa, the Fiddle Leaf Fig can grow up to 15 meters tall, but when cultivated outdoors in temperate regions, it typically reaches heights of 3-9 meters, depending on growing conditions.
