As if you needed another reason to run to Costco, you'll need to do just that if you're a houseplant collector: Fiddle leaf fig trees are back on the warehouse floor. Every once in a while Costco gets in big shipments of fiddle leaf figs, and they're always super affordable. This batch is not only priced at just under $50 per tree, but they're also already so large and lush. The only thing you have to worry about is where in your house to put one!
They may be finicky to care for, but it's worth giving it a go.
'They're BACK,' Samantha Hermann from House Plus Plant on Instagram wrote in a recent caption. 'Ready to give fiddle leaf fig another try?'
Costco's Beloved Fiddle Leaf Trees Are Finally Back
Samantha grabbed one of the super-lush fiddle leaf figs from her local Costco and added it to her booming houseplant collection. She also shared a few helpful tips for keeping your tree alive and healthy.
First, make sure you put your fiddle leaf in an area that receives 'TONS of light,' Samantha wrote. 'Add a grow light if you don't have a large unobstructed south facing window.'
'DO NOT repot,' she added. 'At least wait a few months (it'll be OK!). Only water when it's completely dry. Use Foliage Pro fertilizer every time you water. That's it! Clean the leaves occasionally to remove dust too.'
Because Costco inventory can vary from location to location, your store might not yet have fiddle leaf figs back in stock. But if you want to add one to your collection sooner rather than later, you can actually pick one up from The Home Depot. These plants from Vigoro aren't as large as Costco's, but they're being sold at a similar price point — so you really can't go wrong.
If you're new to the fiddle leaf fig game, don't worry: Although these beloved plants need a bit more TLC than others, they're easy to care for once you get the hang of it.
