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.

    Realistic book of el Camino de Santiago
    Format: Paperback
    This is the most realistic and informative book I've read about el Camino de Santiago, (and I've read no less than 10 in my preparation to walk el Camino). It is beautifully written, inspirational, humble and encouraging. The reality of the albergues or refugios hit me, so I decided to book in private albergues or pensiones in advance. Thank you Joyce for opening our eyes about the hard parts of the Camino, but also of all the beauty and the transformative experience. I hope to savor some of what you and Tome did (minus the albergues), and to learn to appreciate every little thing that we take it for granted. Beautiful book! A must read for all who wants to walk The Way.

    Real and Uninhibited
    Format: Paperback
    I’m planning to walk the Camino this fall and bought several books describing personal journeys. This book filled my soul with the author’s well-described authentic expression of her inner journey—the joys, the fears, the icks and the ahhhs. So honest, so inspiring, uninhibited and very real. Not a day-by-day account of a diary but rather the lessons lived and learned along The Way. Beautiful. I would love to give her a long and heart-felt hug for what I gained from her story. 💖

    Practical Pilgrim Traveling
    Format: Paperback
    My wife and I earned a compostela walking a portion of the Camino Frances in May of 2004. Since then I've read many books on pilgrimage, including several accounts of other pilgrims' journeys on the same road we traveled. Many are what another reviewer describes: diaries of the interior lives of the author, focusing mainly on their hardships and triumphs, as if to point out how they changed the camino, rather than how they were changed by it. If I felt that this were all to this book, I wouldn't recommend it. Instead, I think this book provides a wonderful balance between soulful reflection and the pragmatism of the all-too-physical journey. Walking the camino does appear to have all the ingredients necessary for earning a 'spiritual experience merit badge', and some seem to walk it just to earn pilgrimage street cred. Even were that Rupp's intention, and I doubt very much that is the case, she's provided a great perspective for potential pilgrims and useful material to aid past walkers. It's true that she does not shy away from describing unpleasantries of the road: dirty accommodations, illness, rude pilgrims, bad food, and bad weather. These are very real likelihoods, and she discusses them very frankly; pilgrims do not float along the road, barely touching the earth, and any idyllic expectations soon come face-to-face with harsh reality. Rupp does not bring up these issues merely to complain, however; the benefit of this book is how she treats these subjects as well as her prayerful introspection as equally engaging points of reflection and provides a useful perspective on integrating even these issues into a larger pilgrimage experience. The subtitle of the book, however, is "Life Lessons from the Camino", and that's the true value of these observations: her effort in showing that much of our day-to-day life is filled with just these sort of experiences and just this sort of potential for reflection, appreciation, and understanding.
