I’ve had my ficus Audrey for a year and some change now. She’s the first plant that got me into plants! But after seeing other ficus Audrey at the nursery where I work, I noticed her leaves are a lot lighter green, thinner, and her stem is a redder brown. comparatively, the ficus Audreys at my job have a greyer wood and dark green leaves with a paper-like thickness. Mine has grown a lot since I’ve gotten her, and her leaves are huge. Just wondering if she’s missing a nutrient or something, causing her leaves to grow so huge and thin.

I don’t really know about this plant, but I did a quick search on ‘why is my ficus tree stem turning brown’ and found some info about it such as possible underwatering. That’s probably a good place to start.  
I think my only experience with ficus is a bonsai that I killed right away 😬

I’ll look into this, thanks!

Also, could it need to be repotted?

Repotted about 2 months ago and roots were looking awesome.

That’s great! At least that’s not a problem. I think it’s beautiful.
