Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information, and other details shown on our website are accurate and up to date. However, this information is provided as a general guide only and may occasionally vary between batches, suppliers, or individual plants.

Stock availability
Our website stock levels update live based on our inventory system, and we work hard to keep them as accurate as possible. However, stock counts can occasionally be incorrect due to in-store sales, damage, or stock discrepancies. This is especially possible when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Plant images
Plant photos are provided as a guide to show what a plant may look like when mature and established. In most cases, the image shown is not of the exact individual plant for sale, as this would require constant photo updates across our range. Plants purchased may vary from the images shown in size, fullness, colour, and stage of growth.

Plant sizing
Sizes refer to the size of the pot the plant is sold in, rather than the exact size of the plant itself. For example,

  • 100 mm refers to a 10 cm diameter pot,
  • 140 mm refers to a 14 cm diameter pot,
  • 5L refers to a 5 litre pot, etc.

In general, smaller pot sizes usually indicate younger plants, though the actual size and development of the plant can vary significantly depending on the species, variety, and growth habit.

Photo sourcing and AI-generated imagery
Images used on our website are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under free-use licensing, or used with permission from the original owner. In some cases, AI-assisted imagery may be used where suitable real-world photos are difficult to obtain, in order to help demonstrate what a plant looks like. Where this is done, care is taken to ensure the image remains as true to life as reasonably possible.

Description

Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' is a striking tropical tree native to India, renowned for its velvety, deep green leaves and elegant form. In its natural habitat, it can reach impressive heights, but when cultivated in pots, it can be maintained at a manageable 1.5–2.5 M tall and wide. This makes it an excellent choice for garden beds or large outdoor containers in Perth's climate. The plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can also tolerate full sun, provided it is gradually acclimatised. Its smooth, light-coloured trunk and broad canopy add a touch of sophistication to any landscape.

To care for Ficus 'Audrey', plant it in a free-draining soil mix enriched with organic matter. Water the plant when the top 5–7 cm of soil feels dry, ensuring it is not overwatered to prevent root rot. During the growing season (spring to early autumn), feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth. Regularly dust the leaves to maintain optimal photosynthesis and inspect for common pests like scale and mealybugs. Pruning in spring helps control its size and encourages a fuller shape. While Ficus 'Audrey' rarely flowers in cultivation, its lush foliage provides year-round visual appeal.
