Ficus lyrata 150 cm

A Ficus Lyrata at 150 cm. The fiddle-leaf fig’s large violin-shaped leaves have made it the most photographed indoor plant of the last decade, and also the one most likely to die in the corner of a Beirut apartment.

This version keeps the look permanently. At 150 cm it fits a normal ceiling and a normal room, standing beside a sofa or a bed rather than dominating. The leaves are large and flat, so a cloth wipe every few weeks is quick and brings back the sheen.
