Fiddle Leaf Figs are the fussy babies that will make you feel like a failed plant parent... yet somehow, people can't stay away. Probably because they're so pretty. There was a time we didn't even carry these because they're difficult to keep happy. However, houseplant culture has grown in popularity over the past few years, so we decided to bring 'em back for our more experienced plant-owners.
