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

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

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.
