About this Ficus in a Water Land Container Bonsai, Coiled Trunk, 6 Years Old (Ficus 'Orientalis')
This is a miniature cultivar of Ficus orientalis, 6 years old and 13 inches tall, with reduced leaves and a naturally compact habit that keeps the silhouette tight. The trunk has been worked into a coiled style, and the tree is potted in a combined land and water container, the water side lending the planting the look of a specimen standing at the edge of a pool. Ficus of this type do particularly well indoors, which makes the tree straightforward to site through the year.
Ficus bonsai care
This is a living Ficus (Ficus retusa). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Indoor in any climate with frost; can summer outdoors above ~60°F (15°C)
- Light
- Bright; as much direct sun as possible. The single biggest indoor failure point
- Water
- Moderately dry — water generously only when the top inch of soil is slightly dry. Dislikes wet, soggy soil
- USDA zones
- 9b–11 outdoors year-round (most reliably 10a–12); indoor elsewhere
- #1 cause of death
- Overwatering / root rot, often compounded by too little light
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Ficus bonsai care guide.
