‘Ginseng’ is a stunning new Ficus, that is much loved for its thick trunk and glossy deep green leaflets. Easy to care for and a fantastic introduction to Bonsai, keep it positioned in partial shade and place on a windowsill or side table. Perfect for a greenhouse or conservatory, water sparingly and watch it thrive to a height of 20cm. The ideal introduction for anyone with an interest in bonsai, and doesn’t know where to start!
Place your Ficus macrocarpa bonsai in a bright spot indoors, in sun or part shade, away from draughts. Water using room-temperature water when the top of the compost begins to dry out, avoiding letting the roots sit in water. The plant will also enjoy being misted. As it grows, trim the foliage as necessary to keep the desired shape. Repot into a slightly larger pot every 1-2 years using a free-draining potting mix.
