Ficus ginseng bonsai
The Ficus Ginseng is a popular indoor bonsai tree that is easy to care for and perfect for beginners. It is part of the Moraceae or Mulberry family and is native to Southeast Asia. The plant has narrow elevated roots that swell into a potbelly trunk and narrows at the branches before spreading out to the crown. Bonsai artists especially focus on the raised roots of these funky little plants to create a certain aesthetic. The leaves are oval-shaped and dark green, with roots resembling ginger trees.
Light: Your bonsai will need a good amount of light. Indoors, placing it on a windowsill is a good idea. If this is not available, plant lights can aid in growing your Ficus Ginseng. If you take your tree outdoors during the summer, plan to place it in a spot that gets plenty of sunlight. The bonsai will not tolerate shade at all.
Pot: Ficus Ginseng requires pots with good drainage and air circulation. Transparent pots are beneficial as they allow sunlight and air to reach the roots.
Potting mix: Ficus Ginseng requires a potting mix that provides optimal growing conditions for the plant. Bark-based potting mix or moss-based medium are good options.
Watering: Water your Ficus Ginseng when the soil has almost dried out completely. Overwatering can cause root rot and kill the plant.
Fertilizing: Fertilize your Ficus Ginseng once every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer diluted to half-strength.
Humidity: Ficus Ginseng requires humidity levels between 40-60%. You can use a humidifier or place a tray of water near the plant to maintain humidity levels.
Pruning: Prune your Ficus Ginseng when it has finished flowering to promote new growth.
