Ficus 'Audrey'

Ficus Audrey 🌿 has soft matte green leaves with pale veins and a cleaner, more relaxed look than a typical glossy ficus, which is why so many people love it as an indoor tree. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where it can add height and structure to living rooms, offices, or brighter corners without feeling too fussy. This is a generally manageable plant once it settles in, but like most ficus it prefers consistency and does not love sudden changes. Pro tip: if it starts dropping leaves, check the light first and avoid moving it around too much 💡.
