Based on its copious sightings in the homes of various design cognoscenti, the fiddle-leaf fig appears to be the latest home accessory de rigueur. (Past items include birch logs, antlers, chunks of coral and that ubiquitous gazillion-pound Cabinet of Natural Curiosities tome.)
Trendiness aside, the fiddle-leaf is just a seriously cool plant. Its sort of sculptural meets earthy vibe packs a big punch in any room, and it’s (relatively) low-maintenance — a bonus given my propensity for killing house plants. I have one in my living room and one in my den. Suffice to say, I’m a fan.
They’re not readily available at most nurseries in town, but Sunshine Miniature Trees on Greenville is my secret source (well not so secret anymore…you can thank me later).
p.s. — The Calloways on Greenville sports a nice selection of pots worthy of these bad boys.

You may have persuaded me to purchase a fiddle-leaf for my office. Thanks!
I love these, although difficult to find in Dublin. I need a mini version, which I think I’ve seen as well?
YAY! Yay for your new gig and yay for fiddle leaf figs!
I have been obsessed with them since Marion posted the one above and am still…..thanks for the reminder to hunt one down hun!

Great photo and a great plant! Calloway’s Nursery does carry these (we got a fresh shipment recently). Each store has a few 14 inch container size Standard (Tree form) and a few 14 inch container size Bush/Tree form fiddle-leaf. Call before you drive to confirm availability. Store locations and phone numbers can be found at http://www.calloways.com.
