Bonsai Care

Light

Place your Ficus Bonsai in a bright location with plenty of indirect sunlight. Ficus bonsai can also tolerate some gentle direct sunlight, particularly in the morning or late afternoon. Avoid strong midday sunlight through glass, as intense sunlight can scorch the leaves. A bright position helps support healthy foliage and compact, attractive growth. Rotate the bonsai occasionally to encourage even growth.

Water

Water your Ficus Bonsai when the top layer of the soil feels slightly dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away freely. Avoid allowing the bonsai to stand in water, as consistently wet soil can cause root problems. At the same time, avoid letting the root ball dry out completely for extended periods. The exact watering frequency will depend on the season, light levels and temperature of your home.

Temperature

The Ficus prefers warm and stable indoor conditions. Keep it away from cold draughts, sudden temperature changes and temperatures below approximately 15°C. Avoid placing the bonsai directly next to radiators, heaters or air-conditioning units, as dry and fluctuating conditions can cause leaf drop or brown leaf edges.

Pruning

Regular pruning helps maintain the compact and characteristic shape of your Ficus Bonsai. Trim back long or unwanted shoots during the growing season to encourage branching and preserve its miniature tree form. Use clean, sharp bonsai scissors when pruning to make neat cuts and minimise damage to the plant.

Fertiliser

During the growing season, feed your Ficus Bonsai with a balanced bonsai fertiliser according to the manufacturer's instructions. Regular feeding provides the nutrients needed to support healthy foliage and continued growth. Reduce or stop fertilising during periods of slower growth and avoid feeding immediately after repotting until the bonsai has had time to settle.
