Ficus Ginseng – Bonsai

Scientific Name: Ficus Retusa
Synonyms: Banyan Fig, Taiwan Ficus, Laurel Fig

• Attractive deep green foliage
• Gorgeous Bonsai structure
• Relatively easy care
• It makes for a gorgeous living decor piece
• Ideal for small spaces

Ficus Ginseng makes for a fabulous Bonsai specimen with its funky, potbelly shaped trunk and gorgeous deep green foliage.

These awesome trees have been grown in the form of Bonsai’s making them the perfect indoor tree without taking up a lot of space. Ideal for smaller homes or office spaces looking for something outstanding to create a presence, especially if used as a tabletop focal piece. Alternatively, they look fantastic as part of a floor level plant display, adding that mid-level height for contrast.

This lovely variety of Ficus is also extremely easy to maintain as long as they are provided with good filtered light and airflow, but avoid placing in a cool draft or direct sunlight. Watering is also a dream with this beauty, as they require their soil to dry out completely, adding to their tolerance of occasional under or overwatering.

Provide your Bonsai Ficus Ginseng with good humidity and warmth to keep it looking its best and you’ll have a houseplant that will last you many years.
