Ficus lyrata 'Bambino' – the fiddle-leaf fig in compact version
Ficus lyrata 'Bambino' is the mini, compact version of the famous Ficus lyrata (Fiddle-Leaf Fig), one of the trendiest houseplants in recent years. 'Bambino' shares the same large, glossy violin-shaped leaves, but its slower, more compact growth makes it perfect for apartments and smaller spaces.
