Ficus microcarpa 'Ginseng'
Height: 30cm
Pot size: 12cm
Although these guys have a resemblance to bonsai, they are far easier to maintain. Pop it in a bright spot and water when the soil has completely dried and you can’t go too far wrong! One thing they dislike is soil that has been wet for too long, so err on the side of caution if you’re worried you’re watering too soon.
Care:
💧 Water when the soil is dry at least ¾ of the way down. If the leaves yellow and drop it is a sign you are watering too often
🌞 Ficus thrive in bright light. Some direct sun is okay, too
🐶🐱 Toxic if consumed. Keep me out of reach!
👉 Ficus can drop the odd leaf when they are acclimatising to their new home. This is perfectly normal. Phew!
