Complete Care Guide for Ficus Audrey

Ficus Audrey, also known as Ficus benghalensis, is a robust and attractive plant with large, glossy leaves. To ensure the health and vibrancy of your Ficus Audrey, follow this comprehensive care guide.

Light:

• Bright, Indirect Light: Position your Ficus Audrey in bright, indirect sunlight. It thrives in well-lit locations but should be protected from direct sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the day.

Temperature:

• Warm Temperatures: Maintain temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 50°F (10°C) and protect it from drafts.

Humidity:

• Moderate Humidity: While adaptable to average indoor humidity, occasional misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray can be beneficial, especially in dry indoor environments.

Watering:

• Moderate Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Water thoroughly, and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogged soil. Reduce watering in the winter months.

Soil:

• Well-Draining Mix: Plant Ficus Audrey in a well-draining potting mix. A blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark is suitable. Use a container with drainage holes to facilitate water drainage.

Container:

• Adequate Drainage: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Repot the plant when needed, typically every 2-3 years, to refresh the soil and provide more space for growth.

Fertilizing:

• Balanced Liquid Fertilizer: Feed your Ficus Audrey with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter.

Pruning:

• Maintenance Pruning: Trim any yellow or diseased leaves regularly to maintain the plant’s appearance. Prune to shape and control size. Ficus Audrey responds well to pruning.

Propagation:

• Air Layering: Ficus Audrey can be propagated through air layering. This involves encouraging roots to form on a section of a branch while still attached to the parent plant. Once rooted, the section can be cut and potted.

Caution:

• Toxicity: Ficus Audrey is toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.

Pest Management:

• Regular Inspection: Monitor for pests such as spider mites and scale. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Wipe the leaves regularly to prevent dust buildup.

By following these care instructions, you’ll create an optimal environment for your Ficus Audrey, allowing it to thrive and showcase its impressive foliage.
