About Us

Claire Akin

I’m Claire and I love fiddle leaf fig plants! I created this site to share what I’ve learned about growing healthy and vibrant plants.

It drives me crazy when people tell me fiddle leaf fig plants are hard to grow. I love houseplants and there are certain plants that are really hard to grow (I’m looking at you, maiden hair fern), but a ficus lyrata (fiddle leaf fig) is not one of them.

Fiddle leaf fig trees are one of the easiest and most rewarding plants to own. They are also resistant to pests and disease (unlike my 21 prize hybrid tea roses). There are only a few simple things that can go wrong with them, which are easy to remedy.

The trick is to understand your plant and what it needs. That’s why I created this site. It’s my goal to explain everything I know about growing a gorgeous fiddle leaf fig plant without stressing.

I hope you enjoy the resources provided here and the links to other helpful products and tools. Best of luck to you and your fiddle leaf fig plant!

XO, Claire
