A living piece of art that’s been years in the making. The Ficus Ginseng (Ficus microcarpa) hails from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, where it naturally develops those thick, sculptural roots and beautifully curved trunks that make it look like a miniature ancient tree. Each one is shaped and trained by skilled growers over many seasons — so no two are ever quite the same.

This bonsai is the ultimate blend of nature and design: grounded, balanced, and surprisingly low maintenance. It loves bright, indirect light and stable temperatures (ideally between 15–25°C). Keep it away from draughts or radiators, and you’ll have a happy tree that adds calm, character, and a bit of quiet power to your home.

Water when the top layer of soil feels dry — enough to keep it gently moist but never soaked. It’ll appreciate a misting now and then, especially in warmer months.

Not for Pets or Kids

How not to kill your Ficus Ginseng Bonsai

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Ficus Ginseng Bonsai. Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Surviving

Watering: Moderate

I'm a Moderate Molly! Not one for necking my drinks and shouting out for more, I'm much more about nursing mine and savouring every last drop. A gentle top-up once a week should be just fine for me, thanks.

Light: Indirect

I'm pretty flexible, actually. Generally I'd rather be in a bright spot, with plenty of indirect light. But if all you've got is a moderately shady corner, that's no biggie I'll happily adapt with perhaps a bit less watering. Just keep me out of any harsh, direct sun and we'll get on just fine.

Humidity: High

Ooh, I love a bit of atmosphere! That's why you'd always find me in the bathroom at parties ;-) I think my favourite karaoke song would be 'Spritz Me Baby, One More Time' or maybe 'Come Up and Spritz Me (Make Me Smile)'. I'm sure you get the gist.

Thriving


If your bonsai starts dropping leaves, don’t panic — it’s just adjusting. Give it a steady routine, consistent light, and easy watering. Like most of us, it thrives on balance, not drama.
