The Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng, commonly known as Ginseng Ficus, is a popular choice for indoor bonsai enthusiasts. Its distinctive thick trunk and lush, dark green leaves create a striking appearance, making it a focal point in any room.
Light Needs: Ginseng Ficus thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight throughout the day. Avoid direct sunlight, especially intense afternoon sun, as it can scorch the leaves.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Ginseng Ficus evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.
Humidity Needs: Ginseng Ficus prefers moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the pot. This helps maintain a more humid microclimate around the plant.
