Native to the tropical rainforests of western Africa, the ficus lyrata, more popularly known by its common name fiddle leaf fig bush, is a unique plant famous for its wide, spacious leaf formation and somewhat larger size than the typical house plants. The most prominent trait of the fiddle leaf fig is the varying shapes and sizes of its leaves, which are said to often resemble the form of string instruments. It is favored by many as an ornamental or houseplant due to its aesthetically pleasing leaves. Despite their variations in appearance, the fiddle leaf fig’s lush, dark green leaves never look too messy or bushy. In addition, its roots are also known to be thick and sturdy. The fiddle leaf fig bush stands out without taking up too much attention in any space it occupies.
