The Ficus Ginseng is a popular bonsai known for its distinctive, thick roots and lush, glossy green leaves. Wonderfully shaped like a human body, this mini focus ginseng will be the new delightful little plant for your room!
Native to tropical and subtropical regions of South-East Asia and Australia, Ficus species naturally grow in warm, humid environments. The Ginseng Ficus is also called Banyan fig, Taiwan ficus, and Laurel fig. It is most striking in appearance because it grows thick roots that stay exposed above the surface of the ground. As a bonsai, the effect is of a small tree standing on legs.
Care
Light Place your Ficus Ginseng in a bright spot with plenty of indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning or evening sunlight, but avoid strong midday sun.
Water Water when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Avoid both letting the soil dry out completely and keeping it constantly wet.
Temperature Keep your Ficus Ginseng in a warm environment, ideally between 18–25°C. Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below approximately 15°C.
