Ficus Lyrata ‘Bambino’

$19.99

A dwarf variety of the ever-so-popular Ficus Lyrata or ‘Fiddle Leaf Fig’, the Ficus Lyrata ‘Bambino’ looks similar, but has a few distinguishing characteristics. As they grow and mature, the growth pattern will remain compact, only growing to about 3 feet in ideal conditions. Its common name of ‘Bambino’ comes from the Italian word for ‘little child’ or ‘baby’ and this perfectly suits this adorable little plant. These plants require bright indirect light as well as high humidity for best growth.
