Your article about Fiddle Leaf Ficus culture was interesting, thanks!
They come up at Ikea sometimes: They had 2 ft tall plants with several branches going for $12.99. 2 years ago I bought a 1 ft tall baby online for $8. I wish I had bought the one from Ikea, it was so much fuller! I have no idea where they came from. Possibly Asian countries are starting to mass produce Fiddle Leaf Figs in the same way that they mass produce orchids for the US market?
