Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng Care – 2 years is the bonsai owner consensus in regards to when you should think about repotting your ficus tree. This should be done so the roots have more room to expand and your ficus can keep on thriving. Some bonsai experts recommend that you double-check the following before repotting:
Especially for smaller Bonsai, pruning is another necessity on the list. Either use pruning scissors or fingers to take back the leggy stalks (leading growths). At the beginning of spring, be slightly brutal, as new leaves will come back and make the tree look much bushier. The image above shows where to cut as the juvenile growth can be directed in a specific direction from its alternate growth habit.
The Ficus enjoys moderate watering, which is to say that it needs to be watered generously when the soil appears dry. The Bonsai Ficus can put up with being occasionally over- or under-watered too, which is part of what makes these pretty little trees such a no-stress option. Daily misting is advised to maintain humidity levels and avoid dust-mites, but over-misting can sometimes lead to fungal diseases, so err on the side of caution.
All ficus bonsai trees have milky latex sap. This sap leaks from the tree’s wounds when injured. Some Ficus trees can produce flowers, and many species’ flowers are hidden in the fruit receptacles. These flowers can only be pollinated by special fig wasps. The fruit that grows from the bonsai trees is fairly small and can be red, yellow, green, or blue-purple.
This is one of my fav favorite plants! I love it’s thicc ass and long areal roots. The care is incredibly easy! Mine loves sun and water when it’s sad or regularly in the summer
After a year or two, come springtime, you can take your ficus bonsai out of its planter and take a look at its root ball. It’ll probably be pretty dense at this point and might not take up water very well anymore. Time to do something that might seem very strange to most houseplant enthusiasts: root pruning.
That’s why bonsai bowls are shallow and offer little room for the roots to develop. If you want to water less often and use normal soil, you can choose a larger bowl. This should be at least half as high as it is wide and provide room for the roots to develop. Keep in mind, however, that a Ficus Ginseng in a large bowl may soon no longer be a small bonsai.
The tree is bestowed upon with the evergreen tag because of the gift that attains to its continuous growth. These adorable Ginseng Ficus bonsai add elegance and taste to our homes and offices and make the décor exquisite. They are comparatively low-cost, very reasonable and can be gracefully handled. It is a good way to start the practice and learn the art of bonsai cultivation for the beginner or millennial enthusiasts.
The clipping of trees involves a basic thumb rule in which three leaves are removed from a pack of six leaves. However, it’s a personal opinion to shape and size the tree depending on individual preferences.
Although root pruning is an art of its own and I won’t go too far into it here, basically, you’ll want to use a tool called a root hook (or just some chopsticks) to untangle the roots and remove soil. Then you remove some of the larger roots, trying to keep the small ones intact. This process makes sure the remaining roots can breathe and also helps keep the plant’s growth compact.
