The Ficus "Audrey" (Ficus benghalensis) has a striking, minimalist aesthetic, with deep green velvet leaves and a white trunk that thickens as the plant matures. Also called a Banyan tree, over time these trees will send out arial roots that appear as vines. Care for the Ficus Audrey is on the easier side for ficuses: it appreciates bright, indirect light and regular waterings with a dry-out period in between, similar to its close relative the Rubber Plant. The stalk usually comes staked in these younger trees to ensure straight vertical growth of the trunk.
