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, or Ficus Lyrata, is a tropical plant native to western Africa. It's characterized by its large, glossy leaves that resemble violins or fiddles, hence its common name. In its natural habitat, it can grow into a massive tree, but as a houseplant, it typically reaches 6-10 feet tall indoors. The plant has a tree-like growth habit with a single central trunk and branches that produce the distinctive foliage. Its leathery leaves feature prominent veins that add to its dramatic appearance. This plant has gained immense popularity in recent years as a must-have for interior design enthusiasts who want to add a touch of the exotic to their homes.
Fiddle Leaf Figs thrive in bright, indirect light. An east or north-facing window is ideal as it provides the gentle morning light these plants love without the harsh afternoon sun that can scorch their leaves. If you place your plant near a west or south-facing window, ensure it's filtered through a sheer curtain. These plants can adapt to medium light conditions but may grow more slowly. Avoid placing them in dark corners as this can lead to leaf drop and poor growth. Rotate your plant occasionally to ensure even growth on all sides. The Fiddle Leaf Fig is perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where it can receive consistent, bright light without direct sun exposure.
Water your Fiddle Leaf Fig when the top 1-2 inches of soil are completely dry. This typically means watering every 1-2 weeks, but frequency depends on your home's temperature, humidity, and light conditions. When watering, do so thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then allow excess water to drain completely. These plants are sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently. In winter, reduce watering as the plant's growth slows. Fiddle Leaf Figs appreciate higher humidity levels, so consider misting the leaves or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water to increase ambient humidity, especially in air-conditioned environments.
Important: Fiddle Leaf Figs are toxic to pets if ingested. The sap contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat if chewed or swallowed by cats, dogs, or other animals. Symptoms may include drooling, difficulty swallowing, vomiting, and oral irritation. If you have curious pets, it's best to place this plant out of reach. For pet owners who still want to enjoy this beautiful plant, consider hanging it or placing it on a high shelf. Always wash your hands after handling the plant, especially if you have small children or pets. If you suspect your pet has ingested part of the plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.
