Ficus Lyrata

The quality-filtered native-record profile for Ficus lyrata centers on 26.1°C annual mean temperature and 1334 mm annual precipitation. Its robust p10–p90 climate envelope is wider than those two medians: the coldest-month minimum spans 19.1–23.3°C, while modeled annual rainfall spans 1054–2875 mm. This is a computed environmental fingerprint built from 30 spatially thinned climate points attached to filtered GBIF records inside the POWO native range of western and west-central tropical Africa. It describes where retained records occur in long-term gridded climate; it is not an indoor-care prescription or a physiological tolerance test. ...

Austin has an indoor-first climate for Ficus lyrata, with an outdoor climate-match score of 40/100. The score does not say whether a plant can live in your home. It compares the city’s outdoor normals with the climate envelope measured at quality-filtered records in the species’ native range, then separates that outdoor comparison from the care pressure on a potted indoor plant. The useful answer is seasonal: the strongest fully suitable outdoor window is no month in the 30-year normal. A broader, marginal window is no reliable outdoor window, but marginal months need day-by-day judgment and a protected, shaded position. Indoors, use the monthly calendar below to decide when to check the pot sooner or later. It is deliberately not a fixed watering schedule. ...
