For no fuss or mess you can place the plant in its growing pot (the pot it arrives in) inside a decorative one. This allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot. Here is how we measure and list pot sizes:

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in a rounded pot.

We recommend using a liner to protect your decorative pot and prevent leaking (whether placing the nursery pot inside or repotting directly into the decorative pot).

Ficus Benghalensis 'Audrey'

Bengal Fig Tree

A different kind of fiddle-leaf fig, with white veined leaves and a pale single steam. Not only does it add a lighter touch to your home, it is a very forgiving houseplant.

This plant is a natural air purifier and can remove toxins from the air.

Ficus Benghalensis, commonly known as the banyan fig or Indian banyan, is a tree native to the Indian subcontinent. Specimens in India are among the largest trees in the world by canopy coverage.

Need to know

This ficus, like most others is happiest situated in indirect bright light. It is happy in most rooms, with a temperature of 16-24°C. It does not like draughts and this can cause the leaves to discolour.

Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Apply a general houseplant feed in the summer months.

If leaves are broken a sap will bleed, which is an irritant and should be kept away from eyes, pets and children.
