UPDATE: THIS ISN’T EVEN A FICUS AUDREY WITH VARIEGATION. IT WAS MISLABELED. IT’S A FICUS ALTISSIMA! THEY’RE ALL VARIEGATED. 🙄 GLAD I DIDN’T BUY IT!! I found this variegated ficus Audrey at my Home Depot. I’ve never seen one. Is it rare? It’s $80. Should I buy it?
If you really want it go for it but 80 bucks is a lot. How big is it?
1 like She was about three feet tall. But it was Home Depot and it’s a ficus. That’s two strikes in my book right there. Not a ficus fan.

I wouldn’t pay 80. She looks rough anyway.

Wait two weeks and it will be on the discount cracks. I would not pay more than $10 for it. It looks like it’s seen some things!😁

They might be able to ask for a discount without waiting because it’s a bit beat up “and the leaves are yellowing” 😉😉 But I wouldn’t pay $80. I have a ficus lemon lime that looks almost exactly the same and is relatively cheap. I think they’re technically different subspecies though
1 like I mostly wanted to know if the variegation makes it special. There were two. This was the worst looking one. The other one was perfect. It’s about three feet tall and had no leaf damage. But I didn’t buy it. I just had never seen a variegated Audrey before and couldn’t find anything on it when I googled it. I also couldn’t find any on Etsy or Blossom. That’s why I thought it might be rare. I thought maybe I was one of those lucky people who found a unicorn for a song. I did find one place online that has them of similar size for about $270 but they were out of stock. Honestly though, I really don’t need another plant and i’m not much of a ficus fan. Thank you for helping me out with that. So glad I asked. ☺️

Most of these new variegations of common plants start out rare and expensive, and a year later they will be so much more common you’ll be able to pick it up from a seller for $10-20. It’s a beautiful plant, but not worth the money (unless you like to be able to have a rare plant for a year or two). The most I’ve ever spent on any plant is $25. I would just add it to my wish list for now and wait for the price to come down later.
0 likes Good point. I’ll feel better about not having it even later then since I’m not a ficus fan. I’m still waiting for Thai cons to come down. And monstera albo. They haven’t yet where I live. And I am a monstera fan!
