Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

An attractive braided stem supports a canopy of large, thick, oval shaped, leathery leaves. Prominent, pale green veins stand out against the glossy richness of the leaf colour. Growing to over 30m in the wild, Ficus benghalensis 'Audrey' may not reach these dizzying heights as a houseplant but it still matures into an impressive architectural specimen over time. Height: 300cm (118"). Spread: 150cm (59").

Super-easy and hassle-free, this houseplant comes ready-planted in a self-watering Hydro Pot. These ingenious pots contain an inbuilt reservoir and a water meter to show when the plant needs watering. No need to worry again about when to water your plants, or waste money on plants that you have killed through incorrect watering! Suitable for home or office, this mess-free, soil-less system uses lava rocks instead of compost, keeping your surfaces clean and deterring pests and flies. Made from recycled materials.

Height Up to 3m (118in)
