Fiddle-Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata): Create a Living Tribute for Your Loved One
Why You'll Love the Fiddle-Leaf Fig:
- Symbol of Strength & Renewal: Its dramatic leaves and upright form represent resilience and growth
- Portable Tribute: Thrives in a planter, allowing you to bring it with you if you move.
- Year-Round Presence: A lasting way to keep their memory close.
Easy Care Tips:
Not a green thumb? No problem. Fiddle Leaf Fig trees are forgiving and resilient with just a little care:
- Soil & Drainage: Use well-draining soil and a planter with proper drainage.
- Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light.
- Rotation: Rotate regularly to encourage even growth.
- Leaf Care: Gently dust the large leaves to keep them clean and vibrant.
What's Not Included (But Helpful):
To give your living memorial the best start, you'll also want a few common items:
- an additional bag of potting mix (for indoor trees),
- an appropriately sized saucer tray to catch excess water (for indoor trees),
- 1-2 bag of mulch (for outdoor planting),
- Gardening gloves, a watering can or hose, and a wheeled dolly (for rotating and moving heavier indoor planters) are also helpful to have on hand before starting.
