This specific cultivar is the variegated version, which sports leaves with white and green variegation.
Ficus lyrata variegated care:
Caring for your Fiddle Leaf can be fairly simple, but remember to ensure that your Ficus is in a well draining soil at all times. Provide your Ficus lyrata with plenty of bright indirect light and only water when the soil is completely dry to the touch. It's important to not place your Ficus near any A/C or heating vents as the drafts can cause your Ficus to drop its leaves.

Customer Reviews
Funny story... A few years ago I purchased this plant online, from Indonesia... Well apparently you can't ship plants or at least not Ficus's from Indonesia to USA because the plant was immediately seized and destroyed. :( I thought I would just wait until I could find it domestically, and that day has come! I've been wanting the variegated Ficus lyrata for years and am so happy to finally have my own! Thank you Canopy Plant Co. for making my plant dreams come true.
