Fiddle Leaf Fig

A popular and beloved houseplant with a tall, narrow trunk and a crown of round, ridged leaves that resemble fiddles. Sturdy and compelling these fashionable trees make a bold statement. The tops of the leaves are a glossy emerald, with the undersides a matte muted green giving a sense of depth and movement.
