Ficus Lyrata Little Sunshine is from the Moraceae family. This plant is a dwarf variety of the popular Fiddle Leaf Fig but it grows smaller and its lyrate-shaped leaves have a brighter green color.
Ficus Lyrata Little Sunshine only grows up to 3-4 feet in height, so it is suitable even for small living spaces.
Ficus Lyrata is a perfect indoor houseplant because it is compact, easy to care for and it also has an air-purifying and detoxifying effect.
Ficus Lyrata Little Sunshine prefers bright indirect light, and it needs around 6-8 hours of light per day. Scorching direct sunlight might burn its leaves and low light condition will stunt its growth.
This plant needs medium watering. Water only when the top 2'' of the soil is dry and drain well after each watering to avoid root rot. Water thoroughly and let the soil dry out between waterings.
This plant prefers well-draining soils that can retain some moisture. You can add some peat moss and perlite to regular houseplant soil to increase the drainage and aeration.
Ficus Lyrata plant should be kept in temperatures between 65°F-80°F and a high humidity level (at least 40-60%). Use a humidifier and mist your plant when the weather is dry, especially during winter.
This plant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.
This plant is mildly toxic so keep it out of reach of curious children and pets.

When you purchase online, your plants have to go through lots of stress while traveling so they may need a few days to adjust to their new environment and thrive. If your plant does not perk back up after a few days of care, let us know and we will send replacements free of charge. Remember that we always try our best to accommodate you.
It’s advised that you should repot the plant as soon as you get it. After repotting, your new houseplant will most likely struggle with transplant shock. It may appear droopy, faded, or have a slower growth rate than usual during this time. This is completely normal, and it’s also normal for transplant shock to hit especially hard after repotting a brand-new houseplant. To make sure your plant has plenty of time to adjust to its new surroundings, wait a day after potting and water your plant. Make sure any excess water drains completely from the pot afterward. Monitor your soil’s moisture levels daily to start creating a watering routine. To help perk up your new houseplant, we recommend adding a little water-soluble fertilizer, compost, or sugar water to your soil to boost its nutrients and help it grow.
