Ficus Benghalensis is a highly sought after 'it' plant right now and it's easy to see why: its striking appearance combined with its easy care requirements makes for effortless ownership. Those deep green velvet leaves really make it a conversation piece and will look great in your living space. The Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' is a banyan tree native to India and the surrounding region. It's a type of Strangler Fig. Common names include Ficus Audrey, Bengal Fig, Strangler Fig and Banyan treeThe open tree structure features emerald-green, oval leaves with prominent veins and a velvety texture. The leaves measure about 3 in. wide on mature specimens. Another highlight is its sturdy, light-colored trunk that thickens with age. The Ficus Audrey is more forgiving than the Fiddle-Leaf Fig - but that doesn't necessarily say much. It shares the frustrating family habit of easily shedding leaves. Even if it's not a beginner's tree, however, Ficus Audrey can adjust to a range of light and humidity. Ficus Audrey bears a striking resemblance to the rubber plant, but it swaps out the glossy, moody, burgundy leaves for some that are small, matte, and emerald green; and the leggy and dark trunk for one that's thick and white, almost birch-like.
