Ficus Bonsai

Ficus bonsai, often referred to as Ficus microcarpa or Ficus retusa, are popular choices for bonsai enthusiasts due to their tolerance of indoor conditions, adaptability, and attractive foliage. Here are some key features and care tips for Ficus bonsai:

• Ficus bonsai trees typically have small, glossy leaves and a dense, compact canopy. They can be trained into various bonsai styles, including informal upright, formal upright, slanting, cascading, and others, depending on the grower’s preferences.
• Ficus bonsai thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a window where they can receive plenty of sunlight, but avoid exposing them to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch their leaves.
• Water Ficus bonsai trees thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away freely. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Adjust watering frequency according to environmental conditions and the plant’s specific needs.
• Ficus bonsai prefer warm temperatures ranging from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). They appreciate moderate to high humidity levels, so consider using a humidity tray or misting the foliage regularly, especially in dry indoor environments.
