6" Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng

Ficus Ginseng (Ficus microcarpa ‘Ginseng’)

Ficus Ginseng is a compact, bonsai-style plant known for its thick, exposed roots and canopy of glossy green leaves. Its chunky, sculptural base gives each plant a unique appearance, making it an easy way to get the look of a bonsai without starting one from scratch.

It prefers bright light and consistency, especially when it comes to watering and location. Like many Ficus, it may drop some leaves when moved or when conditions suddenly change.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light, can tolerate some gentle direct sun
💧 Water: Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry between waterings, avoid letting it sit in soggy soil
🌫 Humidity: Average household humidity is usually sufficient
❄️ Temperature: Thrives around 65 to 80°F, protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes
🐾 Pet Friendly: No
⭐ Rare: No

Fun Fact:
That chunky “trunk” is actually made up largely of thickened roots. Ficus Ginseng plants are grown specifically to develop those oversized, exposed roots before being shaped into the little bonsai-style plants we know. 🌳
