  •   Ficus 'Audrey' (Ficus benghalensis) is a tropical fig tree native to India and Pakistan. Also known as the banyan tree, it is the national tree of India and belongs to the same family as the popular Fiddle Leaf Fig. Unlike its cousin, 'Audrey' has smaller, slightly fuzzy leaves with heavy veining and a smooth, light-colored trunk that develops woody structural tissues as it matures.

      The foliage is the primary visual feature, with small, heavily veined leaves that emerge soft to the touch. The leaves are noticeably smaller and fuzzier than those of a Fiddle Leaf Fig, and the pale trunk creates a clean contrast against the green canopy. In its natural habitat, it develops long aerial roots that support massive trunks and can reach heights and spreads exceeding 100 feet, though indoor specimens remain far more compact.

      Indoor blooms are extremely rare, but in the wild, it produces white flowers of varying sizes that persist for several weeks and can develop into small figs. It removes common airborne toxins from indoor spaces.

      Water 'Audrey' only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, allowing brief drought periods between waterings. You can leave it up to ten days without water. Move it into a spot with bright, indirect light, as low light conditions will stunt its growth. The plant is mildly toxic to humans and animals, so keep it out of reach of children and pets.

  •   Ficus 'Audrey' needs bright, indirect sunlight and can tolerate brief periods of light shade, though prolonged low light will slow growth considerably.

      Water it when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry, typically once weekly; always drain excess water to prevent root rot.

      'Audrey' does best in slightly acidic, moisture-retentive soil with good drainage; mix regular houseplant soil with peat moss and perlite for optimal conditions.

      It prefers temperatures between 65–85°F and medium humidity around 40–50%; mist regularly during dry weather and use a humidifier in winter.

      'Audrey' grows at a steady pace and should be fertilized once monthly with diluted houseplant fertilizer during spring and summer only.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9–11 and handles minimum temperatures down to 25°F in zone 9b, 30°F in zone 10a, 35°F in zone 10b, and above 40°F in zone 11. It grows outdoors in southern Florida, southern California, southern Texas, coastal regions of the Gulf states, and Hawaii.

  • Q: How often should I water Ficus 'Audrey'?
    A: Wait until the top 2 inches of soil are dry before watering. Drainage after watering is essential to avoid root rot.

    Q: What kind of light does it need?
    A: Ficus 'Audrey' does best in bright, indirect light; it can tolerate short periods in lighter shade, but sustained low light will slow growth.

    Q: Is 'Audrey' safe for cats and dogs?
    A: No, it is mildly toxic to pets and children, so position it out of reach.

    Q: How fast does it grow?
    A: 'Audrey' grows at a steady, moderate pace under proper light and humidity; growth speed varies with pot size and care conditions.

    Q: Can 'Audrey' be propagated?
    A: Yes, take stem cuttings just below a node and place them in water or moist soil until roots form, then pot into individual containers.

    Q: Will it bloom indoors?
    A: Blooming indoors is very unlikely; 'Audrey' focuses energy on foliage growth in indoor conditions.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
