Ficus Audrey Tree (Multi-Stem)

The laid-back cousin of the Fiddle Leaf Fig — same bold, sculptural presence, far less drama. The Ficus Audrey is the indoor tree that actually wants to thrive.

Ficus Audrey (Ficus benghalensis) is India's national tree, and it brings the same commanding presence indoors that it has in the wild — without the temperamental reputation of its famous cousin. The multi-stem form creates a fuller, lusher appearance with multiple pale, smooth trunks rising from the base, topped with large, velvety, deep-green leaves. It grows upright and architectural, adding height and tropical structure to bright living rooms, offices, and entryways. And unlike the Fiddle Leaf Fig, it actually adapts to indoor conditions without throwing a tantrum every time you move it.

What I love about it

Ficus Audrey is the indoor tree for people who've been burned by Fiddle Leaf Figs. It's genuinely more forgiving — it handles lower light, adapts to new environments without dropping all its leaves, and recovers from missed waterings without drama. The velvety leaves have a soft, matte texture that's different from most ficus varieties and gives the plant a warm, organic feel. The pale, smooth trunks are beautiful and modern. It's a statement plant that actually wants to live in your house. What a concept.
