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 Ginseng Bonsai to maintain its shape and health?
- Regular pruning is essential; aim to trim back long new shoots to a couple of leaves and maintain clear gaps between branches. This not only shapes the plant but also enhances airflow and prevents diseases.
- Is the Ficus Ginseng Bonsai suitable for beginners, and what are the key care tips?
- Yes, it’s quite suitable for beginners. Ensure it receives bright, indirect light and water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry. Avoid direct sunlight and maintain mid to high humidity levels to keep your bonsai thriving.
- Can this bonsai live indoors all year round, and how does it fit into home décor?
- Yes, it can live indoors throughout the year. Its serene and miniature stature makes it a perfect addition to spaces needing a touch of tranquility, such as living rooms, studies, or bedrooms with suitable light conditions.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Your Ficus Ginseng Bonsai prefers a spot with bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can harm its delicate leaves, so a spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be ideal. This gentle lighting helps mimic the dappled sunlight of its natural environment.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your bonsai when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Be thorough, allowing water to soak through the drainage holes, but ensure not to leave the plant in standing water. This balance prevents both overwatering and underwatering, keeping your bonsai happy and healthy.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Ficus Ginseng thrives in typical indoor temperatures, ideally between 18°C and 24°C. It’s important to keep your bonsai away from draughts and sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
This bonsai enjoys moderate humidity. If your home is dry, especially during winter months, consider using a humidity tray or a small room humidifier to maintain the ideal environment.
🪴 Repotting
Repot your Ficus Ginseng Bonsai every two to three years to refresh the soil and encourage health and growth. Choose a pot that’s slightly larger than the current one, ensuring it has good drainage.

This plant is not pet friendly. If you have curious pets, it’s best to place your bonsai where they can’t reach it to prevent any accidental ingestion.

We’re a small family business with a big love for plants.
From our base in Aberdeen, we pack every order with care and love. Our small size means we can be flexible with special requests, and we’re always happy to help. We reuse packaging, craft our own eco-friendly products, and offer friendly advice whenever you need it.
Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
