🌿 Placement

Ficus can be placed both indoors and outdoors. It prefers 2–4 hours of direct morning sunlight. Since bonsai trees are pot-bound, it is best to keep them in a semi-shaded area during summers to avoid excessive heat stress.

💧 Watering

Ficus enjoys slightly moist soil.

• Outdoors: Water up to twice a day depending on climate

• Indoors: Usually once a day is sufficient

Always check the soil moisture before watering. Water only when the top layer of soil feels dry. Overwatering can cause root rot.

🌱 Fertilizing

Feed your bonsai twice a month during the growing season to maintain healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

✂️ Pruning

Trim when needed to remove larger or excess leaves and to maintain the beautiful informal upright silhouette. Regular pruning encourages compact, dense growth.

🪴 Repotting & Soil

Repot once every 1–2 years using a well-drained soil mix. An ideal mixture includes:

• River sand

• Lava rock granules

• Perlite

• Coco husk

• Bio compost

This supports proper aeration and root development.

✅ Ideal For

• Indoor & balcony decoration

• Gifting for plant lovers

• Office desks & meditation corners

• Beginners and experienced bonsai artists

Add this stunning living artwork to your collection and experience the calm, patience and beauty that only a living bonsai can bring.
