Bring the bold silhouette of a fiddle-leaf fig to a bright shelf with Ficus lyrata ‘Bambino.’ Its deep-green, leathery, fiddle-shaped leaves grow close along upright stems, giving this dwarf selection a compact architectural look. Your plant is young and tabletop-sized at shipping, with room to grow.

Points of interest and size

  • One live Ficus lyrata ‘Bambino’ in a 4-inch nursery grow pot; current height, leaf count and fullness vary.
  • Estimated mature indoor height: about 3–6 feet over time under suitable conditions, with pruning to manage its shape.
  • Smaller, more closely spaced foliage than a typical full-size fiddle-leaf fig.

Care guide

  • Light: Provide bright filtered or indirect light. Gentle morning sun may suit an acclimated plant, but avoid sudden exposure to harsh midday sun. Rotate occasionally for even growth.
  • Water: Water thoroughly when the upper 1–2 inches of potting mix dry, then let excess drain. Avoid waterlogged roots; reduce frequency in cooler, dimmer months.
  • Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor mix with perlite or fine bark in a container with drainage holes.
  • Humidity and temperature: Average to moderate household humidity is suitable. Keep warm, away from cold drafts and drying vents; avoid abrupt changes in placement.
  • Feeding: During spring and summer growth, use balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted according to its label every 4–6 weeks. Reduce or pause in winter.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves with clean scissors and prune stems just above a node to manage height and encourage branching. Avoid contact with the milky sap.
  • Repotting: Check roots every 1–2 years. If crowded, move up one pot size with fresh draining mix, keeping the original planting depth.
  • Propagation: Root a healthy stem cutting with at least one node in a warm, humid place with bright indirect light and lightly moist propagation mix. A leaf without a node will not develop into a new plant.
