Ficus lyrata | Fiddle Leaf Fig
Position your Ficus lyrata somewhere with bright light. They'll be very happy in direct sunshine but just monitor them when it's at its most intense.
Ensure they're not anywhere too drafty as their leaves are prone to drop.
Allow the top 20% layer of soil to dry out between waterings.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
