This extraordinary plant will certainly be a talking point! Ficus plants are one of the most popular plants for beginners to bonsai. Part of the mulberry family, there are many different varieties, but this one has amazing swollen roots that stand above the soil and pot, which are beautiful in their own way. Then on top, there is a mass of glossy, smooth, deep green oval leaves on short erect stems. Pot size: 12cm Height: 30cm Care advice and additional information Water - Water when the top 2 inches of soil is dry, typically every 10-14 days depending on the surrounding conditions. Ensure any excess water is able to drain away. Sunlight - Bright but indirect sunlight. Keep away from cold spots. Feeding - Feed every month with a good quality houseplant feed, ideally bonsai fertiliser. Toxicity - Keep away from children and pets. Packaging All plants come in a plastic nursery pot and Kraft compostable brown paper bag. Plants can be wrapped in coloured Kraft paper (black, pink or green) for free but by request beforehand to prevent wastage. All plants will include a care card.
