Placement:

The ficus cannot endure frosts and the cold so keep it inside the house. Choose a place that receives a lot of sunlight and with a constant warm temperature. As a tropical plant, the ficus thrives best in warm, humid environments.

Watering and feeding:

They must be watered generously as soon as the top inch of soil gets dry. Do not let the soil dry out fully and avoid constant wetness. See our watering guide.
Only feed periodically during the growing season (March-Oct).

Pruning and wiring:

The ficus indoor bonsai tree tolerates pruning very well and is one of the faster growing species. Prune in late autumn and winter. Cut down new shoots to two leaves to encourage ramification.
The ficus is ideal for shaping with standard wiring.

Repotting:

Repot in early spring with a well-draining bonsai soil mix.
