Product Description

Care & tips for the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey spiral - 150 cm

The Ficus Benghalensis Audrey is a strong houseplant with a stylish spiral trunk and velvety leaves. Give it a settled spot in the house, because ficuses don't like being moved around much. Turn the plant a little now and then so it keeps growing straight towards the light. It's also worth dusting the leaves occasionally so the plant can take in as much light as possible.

How much water does the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey spiral - 150 cm need?

The Ficus Benghalensis Audrey likes slightly moist potting soil. Let the top layer of the soil dry out a little between waterings before you water again. In the winter months the plant needs less water, because growth slows down then.

How much light does the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey spiral - 150 cm need?

The Ficus Benghalensis Audrey likes a bright spot with plenty of indirect daylight. A place near a window is ideal, but avoid long spells of fierce direct sun. With too little light the plant grows more slowly and the leaves can lose their colour.

Is the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey spiral - 150 cm toxic?

The Ficus Benghalensis Audrey is mildly toxic if eaten. The milky sap can cause mild skin irritation, so it's wise to be careful around pets and small children.

Frequently asked questions about the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey

How much water does my Ficus Benghalensis Audrey need?

Water your Ficus Benghalensis Audrey about once or twice a week, as soon as the top couple of centimetres of soil feel dry. This houseplant doesn't like wet feet, so always let excess water drain away properly. In winter, you can water a little less often.

Where's the best place to put my Ficus Benghalensis Audrey?

The Ficus Benghalensis 'Audrey' loves a bright spot with plenty of (indirect) light, for example near an east- or west-facing window. Avoid harsh, direct midday sun, as it can scorch the large, round leaves. Standing too dark isn't ideal either: the plant will grow less full.

Why is my Ficus Benghalensis Audrey dropping leaves?

Leaf drop in a Ficus is often a reaction to change: a move, a draught, cold near the window, or a new spot. Give your plant a few weeks to settle into a fixed, draught-free spot and it will usually recover on its own.

What do brown leaf tips on my Ficus Audrey mean?

Brown leaf tips usually point to dry air, too little water, or salt build-up from over-fertilising. Mist the leaves now and then, keep a consistent watering routine, and occasionally flush the pot thoroughly with water.

Is the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey toxic to pets or children?

The sap of the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey is mildly toxic if ingested and can irritate the skin. Wear gardening gloves when pruning and keep the plant out of reach of small children and pets that like to nibble on leaves.

How big can a Ficus Benghalensis Audrey grow?

In the wild, the Ficus Benghalensis grows into an enormous banyan tree, but as a houseplant it thankfully stays manageable. Indoors it can eventually reach a couple of metres tall with a stately, tree-like form. Regular pruning keeps the shape nicely compact.

How do I propagate my Ficus Benghalensis Audrey?

The easiest way to propagate is with a cutting: snip off a healthy stem with a few leaves, let the sap dry off briefly, and place the cutting in water or moist potting soil. New roots form after a few weeks.
