They have narrow elevated roots with a trunk that often resembles legs
They have a white milky sap and they can be poisonous to cats or dogs who like to graze
This variety should be allowed to dry between waterings
Ensure when you water that the roots and soil have been thoroughly moistened by allowing water to drain through the bottom
They are highly susceptible to root rot, so planting in a high draining soil is essential
Your Ginseng Ficus will appreciate a very bright spot with a moderate amount of direct sunlight
