In the simplest form, Bonsai is the Japanese art form of growing and training miniature trees in pots. The art form of Bonsai attempts to grow these small trees to resemble a tree much larger and more mature by mimicking the shape and style of the species of tree selected. The art form consists of techniques that can take a lifetime to master which include pruning, using wire to train branches into shape, root trimming, defoliation, and grafting and contorting the main stem into twisted and weeping shapes.
Pruning often sits at the heart of owning a Bonsai and can be the most enjoyable part of owning the plant. It is also essential to maintain the shape and more importantly the health of the plant.
It is worth investing in a proper pair of Bonsai pruning scissors and creating an area where you can prune. You should be able to see the tree from all angles to really tune into the shape of the plant to give it that natural look, this is when the art form really starts to show itself.
You should always try to trim back overly long new shoots either completely or back to just a couple of leaves. It is important to maintain gaps between branches and not allow the plant to become overrun or bushy; this will hinder airflow and lead to pests, diseases, and powdery mildew.
Pruning should be done regularly and should almost be a meditative practice, learning to see the ancient tree within the young sapling.

- How often should I prune my Ficus bonsai to maintain its shape and health?
- Pruning should be performed regularly to preserve the artistic form and overall health of your bonsai. Aim to trim back long new shoots to a couple of leaves and ensure there are gaps between the branches to promote good airflow and prevent disease.
- Is the Ficus bonsai suitable for beginners, and what care does it require?
- Yes, this bonsai is a great choice for beginners due to its resilience and low maintenance needs. It requires medium light without direct sunlight, and watering when the top few centimetres of soil are dry. Ensure the plant is not left sitting in water.
- Can I keep my Ficus bonsai in a high humidity environment?
- This plant thrives in mid to high humidity environments, making it ideal for more humid rooms in your home or a conservatory, but be sure to keep it away from direct water sources like kitchen taps or shower steam.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Ficus Ginseng Bonsai prefers bright, indirect light. It should be placed in a spot where it receives plenty of ambient light but is shielded from the direct rays of the sun, which can scorch its leaves.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Bonsai when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Give it a thorough watering, allowing the water to soak through the drainage holes. Be sure not to let the Bonsai sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Ficus Ginseng Bonsai enjoys a comfortable room temperature, ideally between 15-25°C. Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature changes to keep it healthy.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
This Bonsai thrives in a humid environment. If your home is dry, especially during winter months, consider using a humidity tray or a room humidifier to maintain ideal conditions.
🪴 Repotting
Repot your Ficus Ginseng Bonsai every two to three years to refresh the soil and encourage healthy growth. Spring is the best time for repotting, as the plant will be entering a period of active growth.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is not pet friendly. If you have curious pets, make sure to place your Bonsai where it is out of their reach.
🏠 Recommended Locations at Home
Place your Bonsai in living rooms or offices where there is enough light but no direct sunlight. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be ideal.
🌿 Air Purifying
While not primarily known for air purification, like many plants, the Ficus Ginseng Bonsai helps improve indoor air quality by absorbing toxins and producing oxygen.
