Product Information
Ficus microcarpa Ginseng is native to the beautiful south of China and Malaysia. In Chinese, Ginseng means "root." It takes years to form the whimsical root stalk. Then the small-leaved ficus is grafted onto the root stalk. The plant is patiently pruned, creating the bonsai-like shape. The plant needs at least 10 years of growth to form the root. These are then imported and grown up in the Netherlands. The genus Ficus belongs to the mulberry family (Moraceae) and is one of the most popular species within Bonsai for Beginners.
Care
Ficus Ginseng needs a light place without bright sun. The lighter the plant is, the more water it needs. So water it regularly and never let the root ball dry out. In summer, the plant can even stay outside for a while, as long as the temperature does not drop below 12-15 degrees Celsius. In winter, water less and leave it at 12-15 degrees Celsius. The yellow, brown or unsightly leaves can be safely removed. Furthermore, the plant can be pruned in the fall to keep Ficus in good condition. To give the plant some extra vitality, it can be supplemented with Bonsai Nutrition.
Plant height
When delivered, the plants have a height of 30 to 40cm (measured incl. pot). The plants are delivered in pots with a diameter of 12cm.
