Product Description
The Ficus Benghalensis Audrey has earned the nickname 'strangler' thanks to its unique and slightly aggressive way of growing. In India the Ficus climbs up taller trees, strangles them as it goes and lets its roots drop down. That way the Ficus Audrey takes over its victim's place and can grow to a great height, so best not to make it angry. In India the tree is sacred and goes by the name Banyan Tree.
Care & tips for the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey - 190cm
The Ficus Benghalensis Audrey is an easy plant to look after, ideal for beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike. Give it a bright, sunny spot and the right care, and it will grow and shine at its best.
During the summer months you can give the plant some extra plant food now and then to support its growth. In winter we strongly advise against it, because the Ficus is then in resting mode. Feeding during that period can do harm and puts the plant under unnecessary strain. Follow these simple guidelines and you'll enjoy a healthy, beautiful Ficus Benghalensis Audrey for a long time.
How much water does the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey - 190cm need?
How much water your Ficus needs depends on things like the size of the plant, the pot and its surroundings. One Ficus may well ask for water more often than another.
The best way to tell whether your plant needs water is to check the soil. Push two fingers deep into it. Does the soil still feel damp? Then hold off a little longer. Only when the soil is dry at that depth is it time to water your Ficus again. That way you avoid giving the plant too much water, which can cause root rot.
How much light does the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey - 190cm need?
The Ficus Benghalensis Audrey comes from a tropical, sunny part of the world. That is why this tropical plant copes well with direct sunlight and likes to stand in the daylight at your home. Make sure the Ficus gets enough daylight each day to keep looking its best.
Is the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey - 190cm toxic?
Yes, sadly the Ficus Benghalensis Audrey is toxic if swallowed. The sap released when you prune the leaves can irritate the skin. Take care around small children and pets.
