Ficus Benghalensis ‘Audrey’ Plant

A Sophisticated Indoor Tree

Ficus Benghalensis ‘Audrey’ is the refined, more forgiving cousin to the Fiddle Leaf Fig. With velvety matte leaves and bold pale veining, Audrey delivers architectural structure and softness in one elegant silhouette.

Native to India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, this modern indoor tree thrives in bright, indirect light and adapts beautifully to apartment living. Compared to the Fiddle Leaf Fig, Audrey is notably more resilient in fluctuating New York light and humidity conditions.
