A Modern, Sophisticated Indoor Tree with Soft Velvet Leaves
A Stylish Alternative to the Fiddle Leaf Fig
Ficus Audrey features soft, matte, deep-green leaves with a velvety finish and delicate, pale veining, creating a lush, contemporary look that complements nearly any décor style. Unlike the bold, glossy leaves of the Fiddle Leaf Fig, Audrey’s foliage feels gentler and quieter, bringing a grounded elegance to living rooms, studios, offices, and entryways.
Its trunk gradually thickens and branches gracefully, allowing you to create a natural sculptural silhouette over time — it truly grows more beautiful with age.
Enhances any Interior Space with Calm, Lush Texture
Whether placed beside a window, used to frame a sofa or armchair, or styled near a dining area, Ficus Audrey helps define space and adds gentle visual height. Its presence makes interiors feel curated and complete — the hallmark of well-designed modern spaces.
This plant earns compliments. It reads intentional. It turns rooms into environments.
Easier to Grow than You Think — Especially Compared to Fiddle Leaf Fig
Ficus Audrey thrives in bright, indirect light, but it is noticeably more tolerant of variable light conditions than many other ficus species. It adapts well to filtered window light or bright rooms where sunlight shifts throughout the day.
In lower light settings, growth may slow slightly — but the plant remains healthy and maintains its full, soft foliage.
Low-Maintenance Watering Needs
Audrey prefers a consistent watering rhythm — allow the top couple of inches of soil to dry between watering. It does not require high humidity and forgives occasional missed watering once established.
This balance of beauty and resilience makes it ideal for busy households, seasoned plant lovers, and thoughtful beginners.

How to Care for Ficus Audrey (Ficus benghalensis ‘Audrey’)
Be sure to read our planting instructions to ensure a healthy and happy Ficus Audrey plant for years to come!
How should I plant Ficus Audrey?
Use a pot with drainage holes and a well-aerated potting mix containing perlite or pine bark for airflow. Keep the top of the root ball level with the soil surface. If planting into a decorative cache pot, ensure water can drain freely — Audrey does not tolerate consistently soggy soil.

How often should I water Ficus Audrey?
Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Water until excess drains out, and empty any saucers below. In winter, reduce watering frequency slightly. Audrey appreciates consistency — not wet, not parched.
When should I fertilize Ficus Audrey?
Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer. Pause fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant’s growth naturally slows.
When and how should I prune Ficus Audrey?
Prune to encourage branching or shape the canopy. Make cuts just above leaf nodes. Rotate the plant every 1–2 weeks to maintain even growth and form.
