Ficus lyrata 'Little Sunshine' 6 Inch
| Availability: | In stock (3) |
This variety of Fiddle Leaf Fig is the one for indoor gardeners who love the big tropical look but just don't have room for a specimen-sized house plant. 'Little Sunshine' tops out around two to three feet and its leaves tend to be a brighter green than those of its big brother. That said, they both have the same growing requirements, namely, a well-lit room, temps between 65 and 80 degrees, dry feet, and regular misting and/or cleaning of the leaves. If the room is too cold or it's getting over-watered, Little Sunshine will most likely drop leaves. It will also be happier away from heat vents - it doesn't enjoy the dry air.
