Upright Ficus Ginseng 20cm Description

Ficus Ginseng, known for its thick, bulbous roots and dense canopy of glossy leaves, makes an excellent centerpiece in a terrarium. Its compact growth habit and tolerance for various light conditions make it well-suited for a contained environment. However, maintaining the right balance of moisture, light, and pruning is essential for keeping your Ficus Ginseng healthy in a terrarium.

Planting

  • Gently remove the Ficus Ginseng from its nursery pot, teasing out some of the roots to encourage spreading.
  • Place the plant in the substrate, ensuring the base of the trunk is above the soil level to avoid stem rot.
  • Firm the soil around the roots and water lightly.

Watering

Humidity: Terrariums generally maintain higher humidity levels, which is beneficial for Ficus Ginseng. However, avoid excessive moisture.

Watering Routine

  • Water sparingly, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings.
  • Monitor the terrarium for condensation. If the sides are constantly fogged up, reduce watering and improve ventilation.

Pruning and Maintenance

  • Pruning: Regularly prune the foliage to maintain the plant’s shape and prevent it from outgrowing the terrarium. Trim any leggy growth to encourage bushier growth.
  • Root Maintenance: In a terrarium, the Ficus Ginseng’s roots may grow rapidly. Prune the roots every few months to prevent overcrowding.
  • Cleaning: Wipe down the leaves occasionally to remove dust and ensure the plant can photosynthesize efficiently.
