Placement:

Ficus can be placed indoor as well as outdoors. Ficus plants need 2-4 hours of direct morning sunlight. Since, bonsais are pot-bound, keep them in semi-shade area during summers.

Watering:

A moist soil is preferable for ficus. Twice a day for outdoors and once a day for indoors depending on the location of plant. Always water the plant when the soil seems to be dry. Over watering can cause root rot.

Fertilizing:

Twice a month during growing season for maintaining a healthy plant

Pruning:

Trimming can be done when needed to remove extra or bigger leaves to warrant its beautiful shape.

Repotting and Soil:

Repot once in 1 to 2 years with well drained soil. A mixture of river sand, lavarock granules, perlite, coco husk and bio compost can be used.
