Enjoy and experience the timeless beauty of Ficus Bonsai.

This ficus bonsai is a miniature version of the tropical Banyan tree, the ficus is exotic and beautiful. Ideally suited for indoors, so remember to keep your ficus indoors all year long and an occasional trip outdoors for fresh air and sunshine is acceptable.

Caring for your Bonsai:

As with most bonsai trees, the ficus tree should dry out between watering. To test the soil, simply stick your finger down about an inch to see if it feels wet or dry. The key with ficus bonsai care is never allow the tree to go completely dry for any extended time. To water your tree, soak it and/or the container it sits in, in water for about 10 minutes. Then, allow the soil to drain so no more water leaks from the bottom.

This particular tree should always be kept indoors, especially in the winter. Even then, make sure you keep them on display in a sunny area that never goes below 60 to 65 degrees. When you notice some leaf falling, this could be due to too cool a temperature or if your ficus is getting too much of a draft. Simply choose a different location, again in the sun but warmer and without the draft.

Repotting is also important for ficus bonsai care. The recommendation is to repot the tree every two years. The ficus bonsai typically grows slow, if you notice the tree is having a growth spurt, completely taking over its container within the first year, do no wait to repot, go ahead and do the repotting in the first year.  Early spring is a great time to repot a ficus bonsai.
