Fiddle leaf fig, 1.2m
A 30cm concrete pot, 1.2m tall. The plant people photograph and then struggle with.
Care
Water thoroughly when the top 5cm are dry and then leave it alone. It drops leaves when the schedule changes, not when a week is missed.
The brightest corner you have, out of direct midday sun. Turn the pot a quarter every month or it leans.

Delivery and returns
Inner Saigon: same-day delivery on orders placed before 3pm, $3, free over $50. Everywhere else: two to four days, each plant crated on its own.
A plant that wilts or dies in the first 30 days is replaced and you keep the pot. Send us photographs and we arrange the rest.
Ficus lyrata is not difficult so much as unforgiving of change: it drops leaves when you move it, when the draught changes, when you water on a new schedule. Pick the corner before it arrives and then do not touch it.

Lost two leaves in the first fortnight exactly as the note warned, then settled and has been fine since.
