Ginseng Ficus (Ficus microcarpa ‘Ginseng’)

Ginseng Ficus is a unique bonsai-style plant known for its thick, exposed roots and sturdy trunk topped with a canopy of small, glossy green leaves. Its chunky, sculptural base gives every plant its own character, creating the look of a mature miniature tree without the demanding care associated with many traditional bonsai.

It’s a relatively easy-care indoor bonsai that thrives with bright light and consistent conditions.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; some gentle morning or late-afternoon sun is beneficial
💧 Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; avoid letting it sit in soggy soil
🌫 Humidity: Adapts to average household humidity but appreciates moderate humidity
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in 65–85°F; avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes
🐾 Pet Friendly: No
⭐ Rare: No

Fun Fact:
The chunky “trunk” that gives Ginseng Ficus its distinctive bonsai appearance is actually made up largely of thickened, exposed roots that have been cultivated specifically for their unusual shape. 🌿🌳
