Ficus Audrey or Ficus Benghalensis, a cousin of the popular Fiddle Leaf Fig, is native to India and Pakistan. Like Fiddle Leaf, Ficus Audrey also has heavily veined leaves, but its leaves are smaller and slightly fuzzy, and its trunk is smooth and light-colored. Audrey is not too picky about lighting and watering requirement, so it makes for a perfect beginner plant.

Ficus Audrey is the national tree of India and is also called “banyan tree”. This woody plant has structural tissues on the stems and can grow pretty tall. In its natural habitat, this plant also develops long aerial roots to support the trunks and can spread to over 100 feet in both height and width.

This plant effectively removes common airborne toxins and is among the most popular air-purifying houseplants.

It is very unlikely for Audrey to bloom indoors, but in the wild, this plant grows white flowers in varying sizes that last several weeks and may develop into small figs (berries).
Ficus Audrey needs bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate short periods of light shades, but low light conditions can stunt its growth.

This plant prefers small periods of drought between waterings. Water only when the top 2'' of the soil is dry and drain well after each watering to avoid root rot. Start with watering once a week and monitor the soil to decide on your schedule.

This plant prefers slightly acidic, rich soils that can retain moisture but still drain well. You can add peat moss and perlite to regular houseplant soil to increase drainage.

Audrey should be kept in temperatures between 65°F-85°F and a medium humidity level (around 40%-50%). Use a humidifier and mist your plant when the weather is dry, especially during winter.

This plant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.

This plant is mildly toxic to humans and animals so keep it out of reach of curious children and pets.

*** The size options are represtentative of pots that the plants come in. Sometimes customer may receive multiple plants instead of a large one to make up size.

*** All of our packages are sterilized before leaving the door.
We only ship out beautiful, healthy plants! Please track your package and open it immediately upon arrival. If you receive your package and are not satisfied, please message us immediately. Fragile plants such as bearpaw, baby toe, etc. may break or loose a few of their leaves during transport. Please contact us for replacements if your plants are severely damaged. We'll try our best to accommodate you. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grown in, depending on availability or time of year.
Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
