General Info
At Tropical Expressions, we regularly offer a selection of 8 different varieties- Tigerbark, Green Island, TooLittle, Mistletoe, Wiandi, Oriental, and Ginseng
Providing consistent elevated humidity levels in a slightly matured tree can help to promote the growth of aerial roots
The Ficus, or fig tree, will never bloom- the fig fruit is an inverted flower
The Ficus are an ideal choice for a bonsai beginner, as they are very forgiving while learning to how care for a bonsai
Watering
A Ficus will appreciate drying out slightly between watering's, and then to be watered thoroughly to saturate the soil and roots
Occasional over or under watering will be tolerated by any Ficus, but having a regular schedule will be beneficial for the overall growth of the tree
A humidity tray is beneficial, and misting is not recommended as it can cause fungus on the foliage
Light Requirements
The Ficus will appreciate a very bright spot with a moderate amount of direct sunlight
They are tolerant to less direct sun, but will thrive in a sunny spot
Make sure to avoid exposed to direct afternoon sun, as it can easily burn the foliage
An East facing window is a great place to grow your ficus!
