Ficus Benghalensis Audrey Tuft – Green
Plant description
Ficus Audrey Tuft (Ficus benghalensis ‘Audrey’) is a live indoor ficus with a calm, architectural form and matte, oval leaves in a deep, muted green. This plant is delivered as a full, multi-stem “tuft” (3 cuttings planted together) for a naturally denser silhouette from the base. With a pot size of Ø27 cm and an approximate height of 105 cm at delivery, it suits homes that want greenery with clear lines and minimal visual noise.
Audrey is known for its soft-looking foliage and steady, upright growth. The leaves are thick and slightly velvety to the eye, with clear veining and a structured, layered canopy. Compared with glossier ficus types, Audrey’s surface reads more muted and natural—well suited to Scandinavian interiors where texture matters more than shine.
This is a reliable houseplant when kept in a consistent spot. Like most ficus, it prefers stability: even light, steady temperatures, and a watering routine that allows the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light, but growth will be slower. Avoid harsh, direct midday sun on the leaves.
- Watering routine: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away; do not leave the pot standing in water.
- Humidity preferences: Normal indoor humidity is fine. Slightly higher humidity helps keep leaf edges looking fresh, especially in winter.
- Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below ~15°C.

Placement in the home
Place Ficus Audrey where it receives steady daylight without strong sun—near an east- or west-facing window is ideal, or set back slightly from a south-facing window behind a sheer curtain. Its upright form works well in a living room corner, beside a sofa, or next to a sideboard where the leaves can expand without being brushed past. In a home office, it adds greenery without taking up much floor space beyond the Ø27 cm pot footprint.
Care tips
Rotate the plant every few weeks for even growth. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently. If you repot later, choose a pot with drainage and a well-aerated mix (houseplant soil improved with perlite or bark) to reduce the risk of overly wet roots. During spring and summer, feed lightly with a balanced liquid fertiliser about once a month.
