A fiddle leaf fig is a large, tropical plant with leaves shaped like an open violin. Fiddle leaf figs are not native to the United States, so you cannot find them at your local nursery or garden center. You can buy fiddle leaf figs online or through other retailers that specialize in tropical plants.
The leaves of the fiddle leaf fig plant are sensitive to temperature and humidity levels. They will not thrive if exposed to temperatures below 55 degrees Fahrenheit because it will cause the leaves to drop prematurely. The ideal temperature for a healthy fiddle leaf fig plant is between 70 degrees and 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 60 degrees at night.
