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.

Obsessed…so cool and soft
Color: 03 - White, Size: Queen(20x30)
I’m obsessed with these pillow cases. They make such a difference and feel so soft and cool. I’ve bought them for every bed.

Not so Cooling
Color: 01 - Grey, Size: Queen(20x30)
This pillowcase does not do too much to keep you cool. When not in use, it's cool too the touch but after laying on it for about a minute, it is no longer cool. Also, the color was supposed to be gray but it looks almost white and not gray. The material is comfortable, but overall, this is more like a regular pillowcase, not a cooling one, as advertised (which is the whole reason I bought it). Update: Seller reached out and refunded my order since I was unhappy with the purchase. Great customer service. Thank you!

Keeping, but they do make me hot.
Color: 02 - Blue, Size: Standard(20x26)
Very soft and cooling at first, but they do get hot during the night. So bad that my face sticks to the pillowcase.

LOVE THESE...have multiple sets!
Color: 02 - Blue, Size: Standard(20x26)
Must have for hot sleepers. Purchased for my cooling pillows and they are fantastic. Zipper keeps them on the slippery pillows and stretchy material will fit large, over-sized pillows. The soft, silky material feels great on my skin and has helped keeping my hair smooth. No more bed head! Easy to launder and I highly recommend.

Lightweight material that helps stay cool
Color: 02 - Blue, Size: Standard(20x26)
Really like these, but dont see the sheets made from the same material available anymore and thats disappointing Thin polyester almost spandex material that is very light and breathable so it keeps you cool and its stretchy and soft as well so I think they are comfortable, would like to have an extra set or two so its easier to rotate/wash, but they wash/dry quickly, not sure how well they will hold up long term, but only use them in the summer so hopefully they will last awhile
