Ficus Bonsai

Ficus Bonsai is one of the most commonly found variety in the bonsai world. It is a great material for Indoor training, as it is quite hardy and weather resistant.

Some varieties of figs bear both flowers as well as small fruits, which increases their aesthetic beauty. They do well when grown in partly shady conditions with humus rich moist soil.

As they are mainly found in the tropical regions of the world, figs are used to growing in arid conditions, and hence do well when kept indoors. They are quite tolerant and have proven to be a great tree for training by beginners to bonsai art.

Ficus bonsai should be wired during the growing season, and it is best to wire it just before the new growth hardens.
