A fiddle-leaf fig tree.
Don’t you think these fig trees add so much to the overall vibe of the rooms? The ultra-large leaf is bold, organic, untamed, earthy. Just right.
This tropical plant is gaining in popularity, as I’ve seen it popping up more and more often in home decor. So the question is – where can I find one? I’ve read they can be quite pricey at specialty nurseries but I’ve also heard they can be found at Home Depot. Hmmm, doubtful in Canada but I am definitely going to look into it.

Last weekend while in Montreal, I came across a store with the coolest concept for indoor plants:
How it works: Flowerbox Gallery offers a selection of cardboard, ceramic, and stainless steel boxes, as well as specially sized plants and flowers to insert into the flowerboxes. Then you hang it on your wall. Cool, eh? Such a modern way to bring plants into your home! I can see this is a kitchen, a bathroom, a sunroom,…really the possibilities are endless. I think a Flowerbox is especially brilliant for apartment and condo dwellers where horizontal surfaces space can be limited.
Every Flowerbox is totally customizable, from the box itself, to the plants you choose. From succulents and moss, to mini orchids and peace lilies, they have just about anything you could imagine. Depending on the plant(s) you choose, you would simply take the box off the wall to water, then re-hang.
Flowerbox Gallery is located at 440 rue St-Denis, Montreal. All other locations are in France. Ok – so who will open a Toronto location for me?
