ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
Looking for a unique twist on a classic houseplant? The Twisted Stem Ficus Lyrata, also known as the Twisted Stem Fiddle Leaf Fig, is a bold and beautiful indoor tree that brings instant height, structure, and greenery to your space. With its expertly trained spiral trunk and large, glossy, violin-shaped leaves, it’s both a statement and a staple. The Fiddle Leaf Fig has held its crown as the most popular houseplant in interior design for over a decade – and with good reason. Its sculptural form, rich green foliage, and dramatic silhouette make it a natural fit for almost any interior style, from pared-back minimalism to lush boho-inspired spaces.
Designers love it for its ability to fill awkward corners, add vertical interest, and create that sought-after connection between nature and the indoors. The twisted stem version adds an unexpected design detail, giving you all the visual impact of a tall indoor tree, with even more artistic flair. Whether you’re styling a light-filled living room, an elegant hallway, or a modern workspace, this plant doesn’t just blend in – it elevates the entire room.
Plant Size:
W27cm x H130cm (excluding decorative pot)
Perfect for hallways, living rooms, or anywhere you want a tall indoor plant with a small footprint.
Native Habitat and Growth Habit
Ficus lyrata is native to the lowland rainforests of West Africa, where it grows into a majestic tree under filtered light. As a houseplant, this twisted stem variety is trained to grow upward in a compact spiral, offering all the elegance of a fiddle leaf fig without taking up too much floor space. The twisting trunk adds visual interest, making it one of the most eye-catching tall houseplants available.
Ideal for Interior Styling
This twisted stem Ficus lyrata is a perfect plant for bright rooms with indirect sunlight. Use it to add drama to a corner, frame a doorway, or elevate your plant styling game with an indoor tree that doubles as living décor. It pairs beautifully with minimalist furniture, earthy ceramics, and natural materials. For best effect, place it in one of our handcrafted planters to show off its unique shape.
Care Tips for Twisted Stem Fiddle Leaf Fig
This Ficus lyrata prefers a bright spot with lots of indirect light. Let the top few inches of soil dry out between waterings and avoid overwatering, especially in winter. Keep the leaves dust-free by gently wiping them with a damp cloth – this helps with photosynthesis and keeps the plant looking its best.
For best results, feed once a month during the growing season with our Organic Tropical Plant Food – a gentle, vegan fertiliser made from seaweed, ideal for all tropical houseplants.
Yellowing leaves on older growth are normal – simply snip them off when they fade or leave them to fall naturally as the plant reabsorbs nutrients.
Why This Plant Stands Out
The twisted stem makes this fiddle leaf fig an elegant statement piece that’s easy to live with and dramatic to look at. If you’re searching for a tall houseplant for bright rooms, a decorative indoor tree, or a fiddle leaf fig with a twist, this plant ticks all the boxes. It’s a stylish, sculptural houseplant that looks just as good in a cosy home as it does in a contemporary apartment or creative workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the twisted stem natural?
The twisted trunk is carefully trained by growers and will retain its spiral shape. It’s a living sculpture!
Can I place it in direct sun?
Bright, indirect light is best. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may slow growth.
Is it pet-safe?
Like most ficus varieties, it is not considered pet-safe if ingested, so keep it out of reach of curious animals.
How often should I water it?
Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry. It prefers slightly dry conditions over soggy roots.
