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 to 11 outdoors year-round (most reliably 10a to 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.
