How to take care of Ficus Retusa microcarpa Ginseng 15cm
This plant needs regular feeding and water in moderation, water more in summer than in winter but do not leave this plant standing in too much water as it loathes wet feet. In summer it can be placed outside preferably in the shade, in winter it will require a cool spot with an average temperature of 12°C. If kept indoors it should be kept in a heated room but care should be taken to keep the root ball moist. Like all bonsais, this plant can be pruned into shape.
You need to acclimatize the tree in its new environment indoor to avoid shocking your bonsai, move it first to a cooler room and slowly introduce it to its new home.
