Bambino Fiddle Leaf Fig

Bambino Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata 'Bambino')

Bambino Fiddle Leaf Fig is a compact form of the classic fiddle leaf with thick, glossy, violin-shaped leaves on a naturally short, branching frame; it brings sculptural foliage and modern presence to bright interiors without overwhelming small spaces.

Distinctive Features

Dense internodes keep the canopy tight while broad, leathery leaves with pronounced veins deliver bold texture at a smaller scale; the tidy habit suits shelves, side tables, and low planters.

Growing Conditions

• Sun Exposure: Bright, indirect light with gentle morning sun; avoid harsh midday rays.
• Soil: Well-drained potting mix amended with bark and perlite for airflow.
• Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the top 1 to 2 in to dry before watering again.
• USDA Hardiness Zones: 10 to 12 outdoors; grow indoors in cooler regions.
• Humidity: Moderate; occasional misting helps leaf quality.
• Mature Size: Typically 2 to 4 ft indoors with pruning control.
• Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral, about 6.0 to 7.5.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Iconic fiddle leaves create a sculptural statement in living rooms and entries.
• Small-Space Specimen: Compact habit fits apartments, shelves, and low stands.
• Modern Containers: Pairs well with tall, narrow planters for a clean silhouette.
• Office Corner: Upright form adds greenery without crowding pathways.

Low Maintenance Care

• Watering: Follow a soak-and-dry cycle; reduce frequency in winter.
• Pruning: Tip-prune to encourage branching and maintain height; remove damaged leaves.
• Fertilizing: Feed at half strength monthly in spring and summer.
• Mulching: Top-dress with fine bark to buffer roots and retain moisture.
• Notes: Rotate for even growth; wipe leaves to remove dust; latex sap may irritate skin and is mildly toxic if ingested.
