# I’ve had this fig-like species since October of last year. I got it…

I’ve had this fig-like species since October of last year. I got it for free from a plant shop that was having trouble keeping it alive. They didn’t know exactly what is was, but I wondering if anyone knew the exact species. Planta is saying Common Fig but I’m thinking it might be Fiddle Fig Leaf.

If your plant is the first image it is definitely not a fiddle leaf fig, as they have leaves like this…

Maybe it is a Commom Fig then, the leaves have a thin layer of hair to them.
