icus benghalensis ‘Audrey’, commonly known as the Banyan Fig or Ficus Audrey, is an elegant tropical tree species admired for its velvety green leaves and soft, matte texture. A member of the Moraceae family and native to India and Southeast Asia, this species is the national tree of India, where it grows into magnificent canopy giants in the wild. Indoors, however, Ficus ‘Audrey’ takes on a refined, manageable form — making it a stylish, easy-care alternative to the iconic Fiddle Leaf Fig.

Each broad, oval leaf is a rich forest green with a soft, suede-like finish and prominent, pale veins that add beautiful contrast. Its upright habit and pale, smooth trunk give it a clean, architectural look, ideal for minimalist or modern interiors. Graceful and understated, Ficus ‘Audrey’ exudes natural sophistication while being more forgiving than many of its Ficus relatives.


Ficus benghalensis ‘Audrey’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light to partial sun. A few hours of gentle morning or late afternoon sun are beneficial, but avoid harsh midday rays that can scorch the leaves. Insufficient light can cause leaf drop or slower growth. Place near a bright south- or west-facing window with filtered light.

Watering

Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy, as Ficus ‘Audrey’ dislikes waterlogging. In winter, allow the soil to dry slightly more between waterings. Always use a pot with good drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in water.

Temperature and Humidity

Temperature: Prefers warmth between 18–28 °C. Protect from cold drafts, radiators, and air-conditioning vents. Avoid temperatures below 15 °C.
Humidity: Average indoor humidity (40–60%) is suitable. In very dry environments, occasional misting or a nearby humidifier will help prevent leaf edges from crisping.

Soil and Potting

Use a rich, well-draining potting mix — compost blended with perlite and a little bark or sand is ideal. Repot every 2–3 years in spring to refresh nutrients and allow for root expansion. Choose a sturdy pot, as Ficus ‘Audrey’ has strong roots and prefers some stability.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength. Avoid over-fertilising, which can cause salt build-up or leaf burn. Pause feeding in autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune lightly in spring or summer to shape the canopy and maintain a compact form. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base. Wipe the velvety leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and preserve their matte sheen. Rotate the plant every few weeks for balanced light exposure.

Growth and Maturity

A moderately fast grower indoors, Ficus ‘Audrey’ can reach 1.5–2.5 metres in height with time and care. It forms a strong, upright trunk and symmetrical canopy of lush green foliage. With regular pruning and consistent care, it develops into a beautifully structured indoor tree that lasts for decades.

Common Issues

  • Leaf drop: Caused by sudden environmental changes, drafts, or overwatering.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Pests: Occasionally affected by scale or spider mites — treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

In its natural habitat, Ficus benghalensis is known as the Banyan Tree — one of the largest and most revered trees in the world, often growing into vast, multi-trunked forms that provide shelter and shade. The ‘Audrey’ cultivar was bred for its more compact and refined indoor habit while retaining the graceful structure and resilience of its wild ancestor.

Like other Ficus species, it’s an effective natural air purifier, filtering toxins from the air and adding calm, organic presence to indoor environments. Symbolically, the Banyan Tree represents wisdom, longevity, and stability — making Ficus ‘Audrey’ both a meaningful and beautiful addition to any home or workspace.


Quick Care Summary

Styling Tip

Ficus ‘Audrey’ makes a sophisticated statement as a floor-standing feature in bright living rooms, offices, or conservatories. Its clean lines and velvety green foliage pair beautifully with neutral décor, natural woods, or matte ceramic planters. Combine with other structured tropicals such as Philodendron ‘Imperial Green’ or Ficus altissima for a layered, contemporary look. Perfect for plant lovers seeking a refined yet easy-going indoor tree, ‘Audrey’ brings timeless style and tranquillity to any setting.

    Scholarly and Readable, Too
    Format: Paperback
    I read the first volume in this series (about the Great Depression), and now I'm in the midst of this one. Kennedy's very-lucid prose keeps the reader moving along, and of course, the sweep of the story he's telling is nearly-irresistible. But in lamer hands, the prose might well have bogged down in turgidity--not so in this case!

    Good but not as good
    Format: Kindle
    Freedom From Fear #1 was one of the most interesting and informational books I've ever read. Part Two was interesting but I did not learn much more about the war than I had known before other than the fact that, while Japan lost the war, Anglo-Saxons are no longer in control in the Far East. I somewhat disagree with his ending ideas about the "good" war, that it wasn't so "good" after all in it's outcome. However, those who fought in it and their families would probably disagree.

    The Innovator's DNA - Disruptive Research - Disruptive Writing
    A Politically Correct Status Quo It is politically correct in management circles to say that you are "results oriented" or that you "drive for results" in your organization. The status quo in business schools is to indoctrinate students in the delivery skills of analyzing, planning, detail-oriented implementing, and disciplined executing. This book and the research upon which it is based disrupts that politically correct status quo. Clayton Christensen has spent close to two decades creating the research, conceptual, and application foundation of the disruptive innovation body of knowledge. He has been working for more than 8 years with Jeff Dyer and Hal Gregersen, both gifted researchers, teachers, and consultants in their own right, on this project. These guys are a disruptive "dream team" of contributors. This book articulates an extension of the disruptive innovation body of knowledge that clearly describes an individual profile of the disruptive innovator and an organizational profile of an organization that makes disruptive innovation happen. So what makes this book disruptive? The first thing is timing. It arrives on the scene at a time when innovation is one of the most critical components of a solution to our global financial and organizational mess. If we are to get out of our morass of debt and sluggish growth and respond to the continually emerging challenges of a burgeoning global society it will ride on the backs and wings of innovation. The status quo must be disrupted for us to survive and thrive! Second is the audacity of the core models. The authors claim that innovation can be learned at both the individual and organizational level. Individuals can increase their ability to discover (Discovery Quotient - DQ) and learn to be more innovative. They cite the four specific behavioral skills of asking questions, engaging in observations, networking with people who have a different point of view, and experimenting to figure out what can work as the common elements of what innovators do. They also identify the cognitive skill of associational thinking, the ability to find connections between ideas that do not seem to be related to each other, as the connection between the behavioral skills and the generation of ideas. They extend their claim that the innovation competency can be learned to the organizational domain by saying that organizations can become more innovative through developing and leading people, designing and implementing processes, and advocating and living by philosophies that support innovation. These two arguments stand in stark contrast to the beliefs and practices of a vast majority of leaders and institutions. (For a diagram of the Model see [...]) 'And all of this is built upon the third source of disruption: research. Their work is based on well-founded research into the "DNA" of the world's leading innovators and the world's most innovative organizations. The authors conducted nearly 100 interviews of world class innovators and their colleagues to get at the heart of what innovators do. They also interviewed and surveyed executives who are not innovators. (Their survey data base has over 5000 respondents in it.) So they have been able to compare and contrast the two populations to more clearly see what it takes to effectively innovate. They have also done research on business results attributable to innovation. Collaborating with HOLT (a division of Credit Suisse) they were able to craft a measurement called the "innovation premium." This measure identifies if an organization's market capitalization can be accounted for by existing cash flows or if there is an innovation influence on the stock price. By using this measure, they have been able to clearly and objectively identify which organizations are benefiting from innovation. Yet to Explore The tension in the balance of influence and power between the leaders with predominantly "Discovery" or "Delivery" mindsets is an area that has yet to be explored. If the premises of this book are sound, and I believe they are, we need to figure out how to manage that tension and balance in order to generate, incubate, and strengthen innovative ideas as we bring them to full fruition in the marketplace. Great ideas that are not delivered upon are simply recreational pursuits that do not build great people, great institutions, and great societies. So there is work yet to do. Invest Your Time and Effort This book makes a significant contribution to both the disruptive innovation body of knowledge and the evolving body of practice on innovating disruptively. It is well worth reading, pondering, and acting upon.

    Inspiring and well-written
    This is a very interesting book written by some Harvard profs. They did a large national survey of innovative businesses and their leaders. The book posits that innovative people follow five skills: associating, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting. These skills can be found at the individual or organizational level. The idea is that most people have these skills in their DNA and can bring them out with some practice. There are a lot of interesting and inspiring examples like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos. Although this book seems like a self-help type book with a lot of hype, it has an academic underpinning. Any organization that is interested in promoting innovation could benefit from encouraging these 5 skills. If you are interested in innovation or creativity in business or any organization that produces something, you will like this book. The books is a little distracting to read because it has sidebars all through it giving interesting examples that break up reading concentration. Aside from that, it is a well-written book that is easy and enjoyable to read. I enjoyed the book greatly and found it to be inspiring.

    Great read and research. But what about daily application for regular people?
    The research piece behind this book might be the next thing I read, as I'm intrigued by the academic rigor applied. The reveal and living examples of the five skills - questioning, networking, experimenting, observing and associating - are tangible and approachable given their articulation through well-known and highly visible entrepreneurs running innovative companies. There's much to be gleaned by looking at the way these people behave and, even through simple emulation, enhancing one's own skills. My only real disappointment with the book is its limited approach to practical, daily application for those not yet at the top of the tree. It's rather a different kettle of fish for the innovation-minded, but stuck in bureaucracy, worker who wants to make things better, is still motivated, and hasn't been crushed by the machine. How does that person actively innovate? And, in some cases, get away with it? This book (or an accompanying volume) focussing on daily, in-work, innovation would be useful.
