Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

The Fiddle Leaf Fig is a species of flowering plant in the mulberry and fig family, native to western Africa. In its natural habitat, it grows into a large tree, but as an indoor plant, it maintains a more manageable size while retaining its dramatic appearance. The plant's most striking feature is its large, glossy leaves that resemble violins or fiddles, hence the common name. These leaves have a leathery texture with prominent veins that add to their visual appeal. The Fiddle Leaf Fig is primarily grown as an ornamental plant and does not typically flower or fruit when kept indoors, making it purely a foliage plant that enhances interior spaces with its lush greenery.
Fiddle Leaf Fig plants thrive in bright, indirect light. The ideal placement is near an east or north-facing window where the plant receives gentle morning sunlight. Direct afternoon sun should be avoided as it can scorch the large leaves. In homes with limited natural light, a spot with bright, filtered light works well. These plants can adapt to lower light conditions but may grow more slowly. Good air circulation is beneficial, so avoid placing the plant in stuffy corners. When positioning your Fiddle Leaf Fig, consider its mature size as it can grow quite tall, ensuring it has enough vertical space in its chosen location.
Watering a Fiddle Leaf Fig requires attention to moisture levels. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels completely dry. Since these plants are often kept indoors, the soil may take several days to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common issue that can lead to root rot, so it's better to underwater than overwater. The plant appreciates moderate humidity levels. In dry Indian climates, occasional misting or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help maintain adequate humidity around the leaves. During the monsoon season, reduce watering frequency as the ambient humidity increases.
The Fiddle Leaf Fig contains a milky sap that can be toxic to pets if ingested. The sap contains ficin, a proteolytic enzyme that can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and lips if pets chew on the leaves. In some cases, it may lead to drooling, vomiting, or digestive discomfort. For households with cats, dogs, or other curious pets, it's advisable to place the Fiddle Leaf Fig in an area that's inaccessible to them. If you suspect your pet has ingested any part of the plant, consult a veterinarian promptly. Despite this toxicity concern, many plant owners in India choose to grow Fiddle Leaf Figs while taking simple precautions to keep their pets safe.
