Description: Ginseng Ficus is evergreen miniature plant with aerial roots, mostly grown as Bonsai tree for the decoration of the house. It is also known as Ficus Retusa, Taiwan Ficus, Banyan Fig, Indian Laurel Fig. Its roots are thick and bulbous which grow above the surface. It has dense dark-green foliage, creating the spectacular canopy. Due to nonrigid, flexible trunks of the middle and small size, it is possible to make any shape from Ginseng Ficus, that is why every tree looks unique and fantastic in the house. Growing conditions:-lighting: the plant likes to grow with bright indirect light, which is obligatory for dense foliage. But if it is placed far away from the window, it will still feel fine. -watering: it should be watered regularly with enough amount of water as soon as the top soil dries out. Use mild, warm water. Don’t keep the water in the tray under the plant more than an hour. In winter the watering should be reduced. -fertilizing: Ginseng Ficus should be fertilized once in two weeks during hot season, in winter use the fertilizers once in two-four weeks, if the tree continues to grow. Use liquid fertilizers, as well as special fertilizers for spraying the plant. -nuances: Ginseng Ficus prefers high level of humidity, so it is better to spay it twice per day, sometimes even making some warm shower. But while spraying the water, try to avoid trunks and aerial roots. It is also necessary to clean the foliage with soft cloth occasionally. The temperature range for the plant should be between 64 and 73 °F in summer and not less than 59 °F in winter. Ginseng Ficus doesn’t stand drafts and cold air from the air conditioner, which can cause overcooling of the soil. The plant should be repotted with root cutting every two years in spring. As a Bonsai tree it is necessary to make some shape of it, so it should be bent with the help of wire line all year around, but not longer than three months each bend, as the trunks strengthen very fast. Ginseng Ficus foliage should be regularly cut for the creation of specific shape as well. After six-eight leaves appear on the browse, it is necessary to cut it keeping two leaves on it.
