The Famous Fiddle-leaf Fig

Did you know that plants are like anything else in the decor world?

They go in and out of style.

I can remember back when the spider plants were all the rage.

My Mom taught my sister and I how to make macrame plant hangers for them.

Which... I'm happy to report... are on their way back in style.

So like many of you, I have wanted to join the Fiddle-leaf fig revolution.

But have mercy these jokers come with a pricey punch.

You can't imagine my delight when I spotted one at the Home Depot.

It was almost as if there was a beam of golden light shining down upon it from above.

OK... maybe not that dramatic but it did get my attention directly.

From time to time Home Depot has a promo of plants and this was one of their specials.

24.98... can you believe that?

I know!!

And just because Home Depot rocks, the cashier gave me an added 10% off because it had two dead leaves.

So I sprinted across the garden center in search of the perfect pot to hold this 5' fiddle.

While pushing my cart full of wood, my 5' plant, new pot and soil...

I made sure to instagram that sweet pea of a deal.

Many of you rushed out to get yours...

Please tell me you were able to find one too?

A few of you asked if they were indoor plants.

Yes.. they love a bright spot indoors but I'm told they can thrive well on a patio out of direct sun as well.

They are happiest when watered weekly.

And don't let the fear of a live plant scare you.

Home Depot has a great one year return policy.

Just make sure to hang on to your receipt.

This was not a paid ad.

It's just me finding a great deal and wanting to share it with all of my friends ;)
