Now that I'm actually using it, I love the way it boosts the plant off the floor and adds another level to our evolving living room.
Once we knew we were moving into a house, I began researching plants and decided that the trendy, sculptural fiddle leaf fig would give me the oomph factor I was seeking.
What is a fiddle leaf fig, you ask? It's a type of ficus tree that is currently a favourite of stylists and designers. I'm not a "green thumb" (I have killed many plants... usually unintentionally) but I've fallen in love with this plant from pictures I've seen on the web and it seems like my typical neglectful style (letting the soil dry between waterings) will help it to "fit in" with my succulents... I hope! I really love this plant and don't want to kill it!
Guys, here's where you come in... If you see from my pictures that it's looking a little sickly, please remind me to stop loving it so much! "It is a plant, not a kitty cat." Just repeat that phrase to me over and over. What's that? Cats also don't like to be pestered and prefer to be left alone??? Oh yeah... cats kind of hate me too...
Okay, without further ado, here's my round-up of pretty fiddle leaf figs from all over the internet.

Now do you see why I love them so much? They're graphic and they make a huge impact in any space! One day, my little guy will grow big and strong like these pretty trees... *fingers crossed* In the meantime, I'll just focus on keeping it alive. :)
