Ficus Audrey

Minimalist elegance meets botanical heritage in the Ficus Audrey, a quietly commanding indoor tree with velvety, deep green leaves and a smooth, pale trunk. Native to India and Pakistan, this cousin of the Fiddle Leaf Fig offers a more forgiving temperament and a softer aesthetic—perfect for modern interiors, curated installations, and corporate spaces.
Its upright form and matte foliage lend a calm, architectural presence to any room. Whether styled in tall ceramic planters or grouped with textured greenery, Ficus Audrey brings understated luxury and effortless greenery to your space.
