Origin
The Ficus benghalensis 'Petite Audrey', also known as the Petite Audrey, originates from India and Southeast Asia. This plant has been selected from the wide diversity of the Ficus benghalensis and possesses the same robustness and vitality as its larger counterparts.
Characteristics
The Ficus benghalensis 'Petite Audrey' is an elegant indoor plant with lush, glossy leaves. It is characterised by a compact growth habit, making it highly suitable for smaller spaces. Its leaves are dark green in colour and have remarkably folded edges. Despite its 'petite' size, this ficus variety can grow to a considerable height if properly cared for.
Care
The care for the Ficus benghalensis 'Petite Audrey' requires a bright location, but it cannot tolerate direct sunlight. Although this ficus variety is tolerant of drier air, it still prefers a higher humidity. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy, and the plant would benefit from moderate feeding during the growth season. Lastly, to promote healthy growth, it is recommended to repot the plant once a year.
