Overview
About this tree
The Oriental Ficus is the tree most people picture when they think of bonsai: a heavy, textured trunk, visible surface roots, and a layered canopy of glossy leaves. It adapts well to indoor conditions and is unusually tolerant for a tree that looks this established.
Why you'll love it
- Looks like a mature miniature tree from day one.
- Adapts to normal indoor humidity and light better than most species.
- Grows steadily, so you can watch your pruning take effect.
Basic care
What looking after it actually involves
- Light
- Bright, indirect light. It will thrive close to a south- or west-facing window.
- Watering
- Keep the soil lightly moist, never waterlogged. Water when the top of the soil begins to feel dry, often every 3–7 days.
- Difficulty
- Easy to moderate — forgiving, with a preference for consistency.
- Indoor suitability
- Designed for indoor growing; avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature swings.
Who this tree is best for
Someone who wants the traditional bonsai look without a demanding species, and who can water on a fairly regular rhythm.
