Ficus microcarpa Ginseng comes originally from beautiful southern China and Malaysia. In Chinese, Ginseng means 'root'. It takes years to form the capriciousness of the root stump. Then the small-leaved ficus is grafted onto the root stump. The plant is pruned with a lot of patience, creating the bonsai-like shape. The plant needs at least 10 years of growing to form the root. These are then imported and grown in the Netherlands. The genus Ficus belongs to the mulberry family (Moraceae) and is one of the most popular types of indoor Bonsai for beginners.

Ficus Ginseng needs a light place without bright sun. The lighter the plant is, the more water it needs. So water it regularly and never let the root ball dry out. In summer, the plant can even stay outside for a while, as long as the temperature does not drop below 12-15 degrees Celsius. In winter, water less and leave it at 12-15 degrees Celsius. The yellow, brown or unsightly leaves can be safely removed. Furthermore, the plant can be pruned in the fall to keep Ficus in good condition. To give the plant some extra vitality, it can be supplemented with Bonsai Nutrition.
