Know before you buy
Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about 3 to 5 inches deep. Only water the plant once this top layer of soil has dried out completely.
No, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it in direct, harsh sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause the plant to lose its foliage.
No, this plant is toxic to both cats and dogs if ingested. It is also considered toxic to humans, so it is best kept in a location inaccessible to curious pets or small children.
Ficus Audrey is susceptible to root rot if it sits in standing water. A pot with drainage holes ensures that excess water can escape, keeping the roots healthy and the soil properly aerated.
The bush form offers a dense, shrub-like appearance with foliage starting near the base. The column form grows more vertically, while the standard form features a clear, tree-like trunk with a canopy of leaves at the top.
