Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey'

Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' is a banyan fig grown indoors for its oval to oblong leaves, firm texture, and softly visible pale veins. The foliage emerges fresh green and matures to a deeper tone, giving the plant a calm, substantial look as the woody stems strengthen.

Ficus benghalensis is a tree-forming fig, so Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' responds best to stable warmth, bright filtered light and a root zone that dries gradually after watering.

Leaf and stem traits in Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey'

  • Leaf finish: Leathery oval to oblong leaves mature deep green with paler veins.
  • Woody framework: Stems gradually firm up and branch, giving the plant a clear small-tree habit indoors.
  • Species background: Belongs to Ficus benghalensis, the banyan fig, native to the Indian Subcontinent.
  • Indoor size: Grown as a houseplant, it stays much smaller than outdoor banyan trees and can be shaped by pruning.

Banyan fig structure in a pot

Ficus benghalensis is a tree species from seasonally dry tropical regions of the Indian Subcontinent. In nature, banyan figs can become massive trees with strong trunks and aerial-root development, while indoor plants are managed as woody container specimens with a much smaller root volume.

Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' keeps the species’ firm leaves, latex-bearing stems, and tree-building habit, but in a pot its growth is shaped by light, container size, and pruning. Healthy new leaves depend on a root ball that dries gradually after watering, because saturated indoor substrate reduces oxygen around the roots and often shows first as yellowing or leaf drop.

Care routine for Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey'

  • Light: Give bright filtered light. The firm leaves and woody stems need enough light to support compact shoot growth and strong leaf colour.
  • Watering: Water deeply after the top layer has dried. Let the full root ball rehydrate, then allow the pot to drain so roots do not sit in stagnant moisture.
  • Substrate: Use a structured, well-aerated houseplant mix with bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice, or similar components. Dense peat-heavy mixes stay wet too long around woody Ficus roots.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C. Cold windowsills, draughts, and sudden night drops can disturb root uptake.
  • Humidity: Normal indoor humidity is often acceptable when watering is steady, but very dry air can affect tender new growth and leaf margins.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Flush the substrate occasionally with plain water if fertiliser salts build up on the surface.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to maintain height or encourage branching. Pruning is best done while the plant is actively growing and able to seal cuts quickly.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots circle densely or the plant dries unusually fast. A moderate pot increase supports new root growth while keeping watering predictable.

Issue checks for Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey'

  • Lower leaf drop: Check for a recent move, a temperature dip, or inconsistent watering. Stabilise the position before making further changes.
  • Yellow leaves: Inspect the root ball for wet pockets and poor drainage. Adjust watering only after checking moisture deeper in the pot.
  • Brown edges: Can follow dry spells, low humidity during new growth, or salt build-up. Rebalance watering and reduce feeding until the next healthy flush appears.
  • Small new leaves: Usually points to limited light, restricted roots, or weak feeding during growth. Check light first, then root space and nutrient routine.
  • Scale or mealybug: Inspect along veins, petioles, and woody stems. Remove pests early and repeat checks because Ficus stems offer good hiding places.

Latex and pet safety

Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' is not pet-safe. Leaves and stems contain irritating milky latex that can cause mouth and stomach irritation if chewed, and sap may irritate skin or eyes during pruning. Keep it away from pets and small children, and clean tools after cutting.

Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' name background

Ficus is the classical Latin name for the fig. The species name benghalensis refers to Bengal in South Asia.

Pale-veined leaves, firm foliage and upright woody growth give Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' its calm banyan-fig shape indoors.

They don't last long
Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves
Aggressive exfoliating but paper thin. They leave my skin nice and smooth but after just a few uses/days they already have holes/tears in them. Appears one pair will only last a few weeks.

WORKED WONDERS!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
I was skeptical with this at first, as I didn’t expect a mitt to just take my tan off so easily. But, IT DID! I had a bad self tan experience not too long ago and really needed something that was easy. I ordered this and paired it with an exfoliating scrub (using the mitt to scrub it in). I went into the shower looking orange and left with my usual fair skin. NOTE: you do have to scrub to get it out. My skin did turn red from the scrubbing but if you do that it should come out. No complaints just be sure to use some sort of tan remover exfoliator or something than just the mitt. I was confused at first if I just use the mitt but you don’t. So try something that’ll benefit your skin AND take off the tan.

Must have!
Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves, Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves
I am a big user of the SunLabs tanning lotion and I bought these exfoliating gloves to use when I need to remove any of the tan to start fresh. Works amazingly for that. But I started using these even more often all over more body to remove dead skin and dirt and my skin is so much softer, smoother and just feel overall amazing afterwards. Packaging, quality, and value are great. Huge fan of all the products so far!

Smooth Application and No Irritation
I ran out of my eye cream, so I decided to give this one a try. It goes on smoothly and leaves my skin feeling well moisturized. I have sensitive skin under my eyes, and I really like that it doesn’t cause any irritation.

First time using retinol and I love it!!!
I tried retinol for the first time after my friend told me how good it was. Honestly, I was a bit scared at first because I heard it can be harsh. My skin got a little dry in the beginning, but it wasn’t too bad. After a few weeks, I could see my skin looking smoother and more even, and it actually started to glow a little. I’ll definitely continue using it.
