How to care for your FICUS Bonsai
The care level
When choosing your plant pay attention to your lifestyle and the care level of that plant. Some might need a little more care than others. But they all have a chance to grow and thrive in your home.
Let's get to know FICUS bonsai, or just bonsai for short
The Ficus Bonsai are native to South East Africa and can be incredibly slow-growing. This is an easy-care plant, so if you notice that the plant has gone dormant - let it be until next season. Plant tip: You can prune the plant to keep it's shape.
Conditions
Place in a light area out of direct sunlight, as this will damage the leaves. Remove dust every now and then to allow the plant to get as much light as possible.
Watering
The growing medium should be moist, but allow it to dry out a little between waterings.
Minimum temperature 12°C
The FICUS bonsai plant is sensitive to temperature changes. This may be the cause if the leaves start to fall off.
Location
Bonsai are best kept indoors.
Not for consumption
This plant is just for decoration, and should not be consumed.
Recommended pot diameter: 14 - 24cm
All our Ficus Bonsai come with a pot included, but they will grow! Only repot after two to three years and after a dormant period.
