Branched Ficus lyrata — Indoor lyre fig
The branched Ficus lyrata, also called lyre fig, is an iconic tropical plant with a majestic bearing and graphic foliage. Its large lyre-shaped leaves, deep green and shiny, instantly bring a strong and sophisticated plant character to your interior.
Branched on several stems, this indoor Ficus stands out by its sculptural and balanced silhouette. A true centerpiece of contemporary decor, it embodies lush and elegant nature in the heart of the city.
Exposure & location
The Ficus lyrata likes bright and indirect light. Too little light slows its growth and thins its foliage. It appreciates stability: avoid moving it too often.
- Ideal: bright living room or office, near a bay window or a large sheer-covered window.
- Avoid: drafts, radiators, and prolonged direct sunlight.
- Perfect location: in a well-lit corner where it can express its height and volume.
Verdeia tip: the more generous the light, the larger and shinier its new leaves will be.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — let the substrate dry 2 to 3 cm between waterings.
- Frequency: about every 10 to 15 days depending on the season and light.
- Humidity: it likes slightly humid environments — mist its foliage occasionally.
- Care: regularly clean the large leaves with a soft damp cloth.
- Level: moderate — it requires regularity and stability but remains robust once established.
Beware of excess water: better a slight lack than a waterlogged substrate.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
The branched Ficus lyrata stands out as an exceptional plant, perfect for structuring a space and creating a “chic jungle” effect. Its natural presence makes it a preferred choice of interior architects.
- Visual look: tall bearing, spectacular lyre foliage, and majestic appearance.
- To pair with: Strelitzia nicolai or Monstera deliciosa for a contemporary tropical vibe.
- Ideal pot: XXL planter cover in ceramic or woven basket to emphasize its stature.
- Where to place: living room corner, spacious office, or bright entrance.
It likes space: avoid placing it against a wall so its leaves can breathe freely.
Verdeia tips
- Repotting: about every 2 years, in a slightly larger pot, in spring.
- Substrate: draining mix based on potting soil and coconut fiber or perlite.
- Pruning: possible to harmonize branching or limit height.
- Dull leaves: sign of lack of light or too dry air — adjust exposure.
The bigger it grows, the more it becomes a true interior piece: a sculptural and living plant.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
