Ficus Lyrata, otherwise known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig got its name from the shape of its leaves resembling a violin shape. Fiddle Leaf Figs belong to the Moraceae family which typically grow in tropical regions of the world with the ability to produce mulberrys and figs.
Native to West Africa, these plants are loved for their beautiful big leaves with white stems that can grow to very large sizes, as well as their ability to remove toxins from the air and help purify the atmosphere in any room. The Ficus Lyrata only naturally grows in western rainforests since this is the only place in the world that has the specific type of wasps needed to enable the plant's reproduction. Ideally, as long as the room is brightly lit, the Fiddle Leaf Fig would be the perfect addition to any room in your house.
