Ficus bonsai are a favourite among beginners and experienced enthusiasts alike. Their resilience, adaptability, and forgiving nature make them easy to care for, while their lush foliage, smooth trunks, and graceful branching provide timeless visual appeal.

The Ficus bonsai should be kept indoors as it cannot endure frosts. They require a good amount of light so choose a space that receives plenty of full sunlight. If placed in a position with partial shade, keep an eye on the bonsai but this should not be a significant issue as they are a forgiving species which are easy to maintain.
Watering
No strict schedule, watering needs vary based on climate, soil, airflow, and pot size.
We recommend using the submersion method, which we’ve detailed on our Best Way to Water a Bonsai Tree blog post.
Feeding
Feed weekly or fortnightly from March to October with Chrysal Liquid Bonsai Feed (2 ml per litre of water). Add directly to the water during submersion.
Regular pruning keeps your Ficus healthy, compact, and aesthetically pleasing. Prune back any big leaves and trim back new shoots once they grow beyond 3–4 leaves, leaving the two closest leaves.
Training with wire is best done during late autumn. Use wire roughly the same thickness as the branch. Wiring helps refine your bonsai’s style over time.
