Ficus Ginseng is a much-loved indoor plant for its robust, sculptural trunk, reminiscent of a Bonsai, and its crown of glossy green leaves. It’s a hardy, easy-care plant, ideal for both beginners and plant lovers. Besides its beauty, it can help purify toxins in the thin layer of air around it, refreshing the air nearby. Turning the pot occasionally is always a good idea, as it helps keep growth balanced. And avoiding overwatering is the key to success!
This offer includes the decorative ceramic pot shown in the image, making it a perfect solution if you want to surprise someone with a highly ornamental plant that will look great in any indoor space.

Common names: Ficus Ginseng
Family: Moraceae

Category: Indoor plant
Approximate height: 35cm

CUIDADOS
Light: Likes plenty of bright, indirect light, tolerating direct sun early or late in the day.
Temperature: Ideal between 15–25°C. It likes mild environments and appreciates some humidity, but adapts well to most indoor spaces, as long as it’s kept away from draughts and heating/cooling systems.
Watering: When the substrate starts to dry out, water generously, letting the plastic pot drain excess water well. Don’t let drained water sit in the decorative pot, as it will lead to root rot (one symptom is softening and leaf drop). After watering, you can leave the plant in the decorative pot for a while to absorb water, but then you should discard any water left at the bottom of the decorative pot before placing the plastic pot back inside.
Soil: Well-draining substrate, ideally specific for Bonsai or indoor plants.
Fertilising: Fertilise during the growing season (Mar–Sep) with a fertiliser suitable for green plants.
Pruning: Can be pruned to keep a compact Bonsai shape, and light pruning will help encourage denser growth.
Not pet friendly: Considered toxic to dogs and cats.
Fun fact: The word Ginseng in Chinese means root, and this species was named so because it has a robust root system that resembles the plant/tree’s trunk—so you wouldn’t guess it’s actually part of the root.
