Yes, Ficus benjamina and Ficus lyrata belong to the same genus Ficus, but they are different species within the genus. They are not closely related in terms of their specific characteristics and growth habits.
Water your Ficus lyrata plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, typically every 7-10 days. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to let the soil dry out between waterings.
Lyropupa lyrata was created in 1843.
Arabidopsis lyrata was created in 1753.
I dunno if a ficus is a tree but i know ica is a ficus. Answer Ficus is the rubber tree family.
To properly prune a Ficus lyrata plant, use clean, sharp shears to trim any dead or damaged leaves or branches. Cut back any overgrown or leggy branches to promote new growth. Aim to maintain the desired shape by trimming selectively. Avoid cutting back too much at once to prevent stress to the plant. Regular pruning will help the plant stay healthy and maintain its shape.

To properly prune a Ficus lyrata plant, use clean, sharp pruning shears to trim back any overgrown or damaged branches. Focus on removing dead or yellowing leaves, as well as any branches that are growing in the wrong direction. Make cuts at a 45-degree angle just above a leaf node to encourage new growth. Regular pruning will help promote healthy growth and maintain the plant's desired shape.
They're dying off for some reason
The tree with large, elephant ear-like leaves is likely the Ficus lyrata, also known as the fiddle leaf fig tree. This tree is popular for its broad, glossy leaves that resemble the shape of an elephant's ear.
As with many other woody house plants, prune your ficus just above where a leaf is attached or a branch splits off, so-called "nodes". Remove dead or dying branches. Use clean and sharp shears.
"Lyrata" is a term that typically refers to plants with leaves that are lyre-shaped or resembling a lyre musical instrument. It is commonly used in botanical descriptions to describe specific leaf shapes.
