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.

    Tracking Process & Quality of Product
    Color: Black Watches for Men/Black Dial-2870
    I don't know where to review the tracking process so I will do it here. I just love the fact that they list stop by stop where your order is. I ordered this for my son for his graduation present and was very excited to give it to him. I was able to see how many stops the driver had before he got to me which allowed me to not only have a better idea of its arrival time, but I was also able to enjoy a buildup of excitement as it got closer and closer. As for the quality of the product ~ both my son and I are very impressed and more than satisfied with the watch so far. I was very trepidatious as so many items, especially jewelry items, look stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, high quality in the pictures online and are nothing short of utterly disappointing when you get them. This watch renewed my belief that there are honest sellers out there. I will say that we just got the watch today so this is purely about the initial presentation and look of the watch. So, the packaging was super nice, high-end quality. Each piece (bands, watchface) were separately wrapped in nice, thick plastic to protect from scratching. The boxes (box for watch & slip cover outer box) were great quality (you know, so many companie's packaging falls apart at barely a touch, which makes me wonder about the quality of what's inside). Thorough, grammatically correct (mostly) directions included; also had tools for taking out links along with fairly easy to follow pictured & written directions. We did have to use a separate pin with a head (like tailors use to mark hem points) to push out the pins bcz the one included bent. One thing I really appreciate is that the company said they are there anytime and to please let them know of any issues. Usually companies do all they can to make it as hard as possible to be contacted. I couldn't stop looking at the watch! It DEFINITELY looks SO MUCH MORE expensive than it was! And the workings move like a Rolex (smoothly), not jumpy like the workings of normal watches. Even my husband remarked on how "Rolexey" it looked. I ordered the all black watch. Again, we've only just gotten it, but if the initial presentation is any indicator of its performance, WE'VE GOT A WINNER!!

    Good for the price. Looks nice from a distance. Feels heavy. Is a bit noisy when you walk. But value for money.

    Low cost watch returned.
    Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial-2870
    I returned this watch the next day after receiving it. It was very attractive and I hope it would work as advertised. The watch came in shrink wrapped plastic that was very tough to removed. I feared damaging the watch. I set it then tried some of its features. The stopwatch worked but it did not reset to the zero position properly. The 24 hour time indicator was off by one hour. The rotating bezel had black lacquer on it that was tender to the touch. A fingernail could have damaged it and a very small nick had already started out of the box. If everything had worked properly I would have kept it for the money spent. I guess you get what you pay for so I am now shopping for a higher quality watch.

    Nice watch at a very good price.
    Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Black Dial-2870
    Favorite watch in my collection. I wear it every day, and at the price point, if breaks in six months I will buy another just like it.

    Best cheap time piece there is
    Color: Gold Silver Stainless Steel/Blue Dial-2870
    I’ve been a chef for years and having a great watch that keeps time as well as it looks classy is a tough ask when you’re exposing said watch to high heat over the range, extreme lows putting away vendor orders in the walk in fridge or freezer (sometimes up to an hour or 2 at a time), getting popped with hot oil and sauces, and doing dishes when our dishwasher is a no show. I do take this off to make seasoned flour for fried chicken or seafood, but it can easily be kept clean and it keeps time EXTREMELY well. I get several compliments on it from other chefs and even the guests at our restaurants both in downtown Charleston and the resort at Kiawah Island. Just don’t bang the face of the watch into a steel prep table (it will chip or scratch). But it is possible to replace the face at a local jeweler, and at any desired quality or price bracket. I own this watch in several colors and have used them for 2 years now. I’ve been very happy with OLEVS all around.
