Placement: Ficus bonsai plants need at least 2-3 hours of daily sunlight. When planted in a pot, a humidity tray is desired. It also responds well in semi shade areas.

Watering: A moist soil is preferable for ficus. Water it twice a day when placed outdoors. Always water the plant when the surface of 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.
