Ficus benghalensis ‘Audrey’, also known as the Banyan Fig ‘Audrey’, is a sophisticated tropical tree celebrated for its velvety green leaves, pale trunk, and graceful, architectural form. This special twisted stem version adds an artistic, sculptural element to an already regal plant, creating a living statement piece that exudes refinement and organic elegance.

Native to India and Pakistan, Ficus benghalensis is the national tree of India and revered for its strength and longevity. The ‘Audrey’ cultivar, with its more compact habit and soft-textured foliage, has become a beloved interior design favourite. Its elliptical, deep-green leaves are accented by creamy-white veins and velvety undersides, giving them a subtle matte finish that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, light-grey bark. The twisted stem form adds movement and texture, showcasing skilled horticultural artistry and a true sense of botanical luxury.

Elegant, commanding, and full of character, Ficus benghalensis ‘Audrey’ (Twisted Stem) is more than a plant — it’s a natural sculpture that brings tropical sophistication and serenity to any curated space.


Ficus benghalensis ‘Audrey’ (Twisted Stem) – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate a few hours of gentle morning or late-afternoon sun. Provide consistent brightness to maintain healthy growth and leaf colour. Avoid harsh midday sunlight, which can scorch the velvety leaves, and deep shade, which may cause sparse foliage or slowed growth.

Watering

Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Ficus species prefer consistency — alternate extremes of drought and overwatering can lead to leaf drop. During winter, reduce watering slightly, allowing the soil to dry more between waterings. Always ensure the pot has adequate drainage.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth between 20–30 °C; avoid temperatures below 15 °C and cold draughts.

  • Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity (40–60%) but thrives in moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or use a humidifier to maintain supple leaves and prevent dryness.

Soil and Potting

Use a well-draining, fertile mix, such as compost combined with perlite and pine bark. This ensures airflow while retaining gentle moisture. The twisted stem form should be grown in a stable, weighted planter to support its structure as it matures. Repot every 2–3 years in spring, refreshing the soil to encourage healthy root development.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted, balanced fertiliser or a foliage-specific formula. Regular feeding promotes lush growth and vibrant leaf colour. Stop feeding in autumn and winter when growth slows.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage a fuller canopy. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base. Clean the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and highlight their velvety texture. Rotate the pot occasionally to maintain an even canopy and balanced growth around the twisted trunk.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate grower, Ficus benghalensis ‘Audrey’ can reach 1.5–2.5 metres indoors when given adequate light and care. The twisted stem form provides additional visual interest, creating a dynamic, sculptural silhouette. Over time, the pale trunk thickens, and the canopy expands into a dense, tree-like form that feels both grounding and elegant.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leaf drop: Low light, cold exposure, or sudden environmental change.

  • Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally scale or thrips; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

Ficus benghalensis is a sacred tree in Indian culture, symbolising eternal life due to its ability to form new trunks and aerial roots that expand over time. The ‘Audrey’ cultivar, however, is a more compact and manageable version suited for indoor growth — maintaining the grandeur of its wild ancestor while thriving in bright, indoor environments.

The twisted stem form showcases expert horticultural training, where multiple young stems are intertwined as they grow, producing a sculptural spiral trunk that adds unique movement and artistry. Beyond its visual impact, Ficus ‘Audrey’ is also an effective air-purifying plant, filtering toxins and improving air quality while enhancing a sense of calm and biophilic beauty.

    Comfortable nike running shoes.
    Size: 13, Color: Black/Summit White/Anthracite/Cyber, Size: 13, Color: Black/Summit White/Anthracite/Cyber
    Nice and comfortable from the moment that I put them on my feet. Feels like you’re walking on memory foam. You have to buy comfortable shoes when you’re on your feet all day. I do Amazon Flex in. These will be perfect although I have several pairs so that way, the shoe lasts longer. Definitely would buy these in different colors very satisfied.

    Good shoe, seems physically big
    I really like these shoes. I’ve been able to wear them for about a week now and am really impressed with how they’re holding up. A lot of my shoes start to squeak in a similar amount of time and these still feel like they just came out of the box. I especially like the heal support, it feels like it’s really gripping the heal nicely My one complaint is that they seem physically larger than most size 11 shoes from Nike I buy. In spite of fitting the same inside, the actual shoe seems about an inch longer than my other Nike size 11s. It’s not a deal breaker and it doesn’t impact the comfort, it might even make them more comfortable, but they look a bit large on my foot. And if you have a narrow foot, you might be swimming in these.

    Can’t Miss Shoe
    Size: 11, Color: White/Blue Crystal/Total Orange, Size: 11, Color: White/Blue Crystal/Total Orange
    Great looking shoe! Fit to form, I wear a size 101/2 or 11 and I ordered a size 11 and they fit perfectly. Soft and comfortable perfect for walking as I suffer from knee and back pain at 59 years old…. Don’t judge me. Normal width size for me so not sure about the wide fit but the toe room for me is comfortable. Great choice will definitely recommend.

    Yes Go Nike!
    These Nike men's shoes are very comfortable. It's a pretty versatile shoe. I am able to work out in the gym, go for hikes, walk on the street and run errands all with ease and comfortability. They are sturdy, have good cushion and great support for your joints and back keeping you aligned. They lean on the more narrow side for fit so if you have wide feet they may not work for you. The green around the heal is attractive. The price I paid for the shoes was extremely reasonable making them a great value. I have been using them for a couple of months now and they are still in great shape. Excellent buy!
