Plant in a Box Ficus microcarpa 'ginseng' - S- Shape Bonsai

Ficus Ginseng grows in the beautiful south of China and in Malaysia. Ginseng is the Chinese word for 'root,' referring to the plant's trunk. This true bonsai tree takes years to develop its roots. Then, the small-leaved Ficus is grafted onto the rootstock. With a lot of patience, the plant is pruned to achieve a bonsai-like shape. The Ficus belongs to the mulberry family (Moraceae) and is one of the most popular bonsai species for beginners.

Care: Ficus Ginseng (also known as Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng) requires a bright location without direct harsh sunlight. The brighter the plant is, the more water it needs. Therefore, water regularly and never let the root ball dry out. In summer, the plant can also stay outside for a while, as long as the temperature does not drop below 12-15 degrees Celsius. Yellow, brown, or unsightly leaves can be removed. If you want to prune the plant, it is best to do so in the fall. To give the plant additional vitality, it can be fed with bonsai food. Note: At first, the bonsai may lose leaves, but this is not harmful. The plant needs some time to adjust to its new location, so do not move it too often. New leaves will grow naturally. Always ensure sufficient light and water at the beginning.

Size: The plant has a height of 55-65 cm upon delivery, measured including the growing pot. The plant is delivered in a growing pot with a diameter of 20 cm. Includes 500 ml of Pokon liquid fertilizer for bonsai.
