Hey, Green Thumbs

Does anyone know what type of plant this is?



It's pretty much the only plant I've ever liked for inside.

    Looks like a fiddle fig to me (a total fave of decorators). It seems like they pop up everywhere!

    I would love to have one in my home but I'm pretty sure plants start dying the second I decide to purchase them. I don't know what my problem is!! My mom can make a pile of saw dust sprout! boo.

    I actually see these in model homes everywhere. they are beautiful. I saw them IKea once and they were so big. One would not fit in my car and I was so bummed. They were in perfect condition. You should check Ikea.

    i think they are kind of jerks to take care of. and they can be expensive if you want a big one. i opted for a rubber tree instead. although, the leaves aren't quite as pretty. :(

    Fiddle leaf fig. It's a type of ficus.

    I love those!! I have two in my house right now that have somehow survived. I've never had a ficus survive with me, but these are even growing!

    Hi Bryn! Sorry to tag another comment on here, but I wanted to share my experience - I have one of these myself (fiddle leaf fig). I had been all over my city for months to find one with no luck. My mom was randomly at Ace Hardware one day, and they had one about 4 ft high and it was only ... $15!!!! Amazing price. So, it was definitely worth being patient on this one. It is a bit fickle about the amount of water it needs. I have had it about 2 months, and so far so good! Just make sure it gets the right amount of light. The leaves are even more beautiful in person. So happy with it!
