Product Description
The Ficus Benghalensis Audrey is known as a 'strangler fig' because of its dominant growth habit. In India it climbs other trees, smothers them and sends down aerial roots to take over their spot. That's how it grows into an imposing giant. Not a plant to pick a fight with! In India it is sacred and known as the Banyan Tree.
Care & tips for the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey bush - 100cm
The Ficus Benghalensis Audrey bush is a robust houseplant with a calm presence that's relatively easy to care for. It's known for its dark green, velvety leaves with striking veins. Give the Audrey a fixed spot and leave it there, as it doesn't take kindly to being moved. If needed, turn the plant a little at a time to stop it growing lopsided. With its sturdy build, this Ficus is a stylish addition to any home.
How much water does the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey bush - 100cm need?
The Audrey likes slightly moist potting soil but can cope with short dry spells too. Let the top layer of soil dry out a little between waterings. Don't leave the roots sitting in wet soil for long, as this can cause root rot.
How much light does the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey bush - 100cm need?
The Ficus Audrey is happiest in a spot with plenty of indirect light. Direct sunlight can fade or scorch the leaves, while a spot that's too dark slows its growth. A bright room with filtered sunlight is ideal. Also make sure the plant is protected from cold draughts.
Is the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey bush - 100cm toxic?
The Ficus Audrey is mildly toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of curious pets and small children.
