Ask a question about this product

    This deciduous bonsai tree grows naturally in Southeast Asia. In all, there are literally hundreds of species, each unique and beautiful. When the Ficus flowers, they are each beautifully enclosed in growing fruit. Keep in mind however, when using Ficus as bonsai, they seldom fruit. This particular bonsai tree prefers full sun to partial shade, with protection from cold drafts. In addition, the Ficus does best in humus-rich soil that is kept moist but also well drained.

The Ficus produces amazing aerial roots that come out from the trunk and branch, which can be used for the overall style if preferred. When first grown, the aerial roots are somewhat brittle. However, as they mature, they become strong. One of the most stunning of all Ficus trees is the Banyan Fig, which is pictured to the right. Although you can train the Ficus into a number of styles, the most common used for bonsai is the clasped to rock.
