The variegations on this variety are splotchy and marble-like, giving several shades from dark to pale green in a gorgeous array across a single leaf. Low-maintenance and leafy, these plants will enjoy a bright spot in your house and reward you with stunning foliage.\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":897,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;The fiddle-leaf fig's large, glossy leaves also give it its common name, since they are shaped like fiddles.
