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.

    Comfortable but lack of back support on this chair
    Color: Black, Number of Items: 1, Color: Black, Number of Items: 1
    I give this chair a 4 star not a 5 star review. Reason for that if you look for the first picture I pst you can see from the back of the chair how it reclines. There is no adjustment to make the back rest come up straight so when your working all day at the desk you is an upright right position. I have to put a pillow behind my back for support cause while working leaning back is uncomfortable and who wants to lean back while working. so there is a lack of back support. .Great gaming chair for that reason. Though I really like the looks and the color of the chair. The material was very soft and the quality was made well. The chair you can make go up or down for the height which is nice. The ability to be able to move the char around while sitting is a plus and the wheels move smooth and with ease. I had to put this together which was simple to do and came with everything I needed when open the box. So before buying if the back support and leaning back isnt an issue for you then this would be the perfect chair for you. Please not the first picture with the darker rug is the chair I got , second picture isnt mine but for a review that their chair was up straight. Isnt the way mine should have come. I didnt questioned or return it because it was so heavy and bulky to take back to a UPS store. I just kept it because everything else was great.

    Great price and Quality
    Color: Khaki, Number of Items: 1
    Best money ever spent on an office chair. At the time of purchase, it was less than half the price of local retail stores. Once we received it and put it together, it was top notch. Better than expected. Now time will tell how long it stays that way. Very comfortable, strong material, and easy to adjust.

    Comfortable Even After Long Hours
    Color: Black, Number of Items: 1
    I purchased this chair for my husband’s home office, and it has been a great choice. The height and angle can be adjusted very easily, making it comfortable to customize. Assembly was also simple and straightforward. The size is just right, and it remains comfortable even after sitting for long periods of time without causing fatigue. Overall, the quality exceeded my expectations for the price. If it ever breaks, I would definitely purchase the same one again.

    Not an average-to-large person's chair by any means.
    Color: Brown, Number of Items: 1
    PROS: Comfortable seat cushion Feels sturdy and manufactured well Swivels and rolls effortlessly Height adjustment Not terribly heavy Easy assembly CONS: Reclining feature is not great Back cushion forces a very upright sitting posture Pleather material will deteriorate within a couple years It's overpriced for what it is, even at $100. SUMMARY: I'm a little guy. 5'7 and 145 lbs. This chair feels like it was scaled for me and my little frame. Now, while that's perfect for me, nearly everyone else I know or have ever known, are at least twice my size. And I can't imagine them finding the overall size of this thing to be enough chair for them. Maybe I'm way off base here, but I've sat in regular sized office chairs and while they'd swallow me, they're essentially perfect sized for most other people. Feels good to sit in, nothing amazing but it's comfortable enough. Remember, it's made with pleather. Every day use for long periods of time will wear the material out within two or three years. Won't effect it's performance but it will be ugly with cracks and wear/tear far quicker than real leather, of course. It looks very nice right out the box though. Not too heavy either. The reclining feature is a bummer, it's like you really have to force it to lean back, like it's fighting against your doing so. Which if your trying to lean back, you know putting a bunch of effort into your legs is the opposite of what you're trying to achieve - which is relax without tension in any part of your body. It's basically useless for my needs, anyway. The price, even at a measly $100 for an "executive office chair" does not reflect the hiccups with this thing because it's not a one size fits all kind of chair. Anyone over 180 lbs and 5'10 will surely find it to be a bit snug and the back cushion to sit a bit short. The back forces you to sit very upright. Something that will take getting used to, especially since I can't recline. This chair is kinda "meh" to be completely honest. I'll spend at least twice as much next time and get five times the quality. Look, it'll do the job for a while but there really isn't anything very impressive about it besides what it visually looks like. I've no idea how so many people rated this thing with so many glowing reviews. There's not a lot to boast about with a cheap $100 pleather chair that's undersized for most people. I really don't get it. I'd only recommend this at $65-$70. No way this is worth the $100 Amazon is currently pricing it at. Spend just a little a bit more, you'll notice a huge jump in quality over this.
