About this Small Oriental Ficus Bonsai, 5 Years Old (Ficus benjamina 'Orientalis')

A fig whose range runs across South and Southeastern Asia, Ficus benjamina 'orientalis' has proved particularly well suited to bonsai training: it thickens into a sturdy trunk, divides readily into useful branch structure, and carries shiny foliage. This one is 5 years old and 7 to 8 inches tall. It can remain indoors through the year, and the brighter the spot the more compact the growth it makes. Water once the soil surface begins to dry, and keep the pot away from cold draughts, which figs of this kind never take kindly to.

Weeping Fig bonsai care

This is a living Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

Indoor / outdoor: Indoor in most climates; outdoors year-round only in frost-free tropical/subtropical zones
Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates some direct sun once acclimated
Water: Keep evenly moist; let the top of the soil dry slightly between waterings; avoid soggy roots
USDA zones: 10 to 12 (grown indoors elsewhere)
#1 cause of death: Insufficient light plus overwatering, leading to leaf drop and root rot

Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Weeping Fig bonsai care guide.
