Ficus Microcarpa Compacta Bonsai GinsengIt’s important to understand that Ficus Microcarpa Compacta Bonsai and “Ficus retusa” are often used interchangeably, and “ginseng” refers to the swollen, root-like base that resembles ginseng root. So, we’re talking about the same type of bonsai.

Here’s a comprehensive guide to caring for your Ficus Microcarpa Compacta Bonsai /retusa “ginseng” bonsai:

Understanding the Plant:

  • Tropical Origin: Ficus microcarpa is native to tropical regions, meaning it prefers warm, humid conditions.
  • Characteristic Roots: The “ginseng” style is created by cultivating the plant to develop thick, aerial roots that become exposed and resemble roots.
  • Adaptability: Ficus bonsai are generally considered relatively hardy and adaptable, making them good for beginners.

Care Essentials:

  • Light:
    • Ficus bonsai thrive in bright, indirect light.
    • Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, especially indoors.
    • If you keep it indoors, a spot near an east- or south-facing window is ideal.
    • Rotating the plant regularly ensures even light distribution.
  • Watering:
    • Water thoroughly when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry.
    • Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
    • Ensure proper drainage.
    • The frequency of watering will vary depending on the temperature, humidity, and time of year.
  • Humidity:
    • Ficus bonsai appreciate high humidity.
    • You can increase humidity by:
      • Placing the bonsai on a humidity tray filled with pebbles and water.
      • Misting the leaves regularly.
      • Using a humidifier.
  • Temperature:
    • Maintain a consistent temperature between 60°F and 75°F (15°C and 24°C).
    • Avoid exposing the bonsai to sudden temperature changes or drafts.
    • Ficus trees do not like cold temperatures.
  • Soil:
    • Use a well-draining bonsai soil mix.
    • A mixture of akadama, pumice, and lava rock is often recommended.
  • Fertilizing:
    • Fertilize regularly during the growing season (spring and summer).
    • Use a balanced liquid bonsai fertilizer.
    • Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormant season (fall and winter).
  • Pruning:
    • Regular pruning is essential for maintaining the bonsai’s shape.
    • Pinch back new growth to encourage branching.
    • Remove any dead or dying branches.
  • Repotting:
    • Repot the bonsai every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound.
    • Repotting is best done in the spring.
    • Trim the roots lightly during repotting.

Key Considerations:

  • Indoor vs. Outdoor: Ficus bonsai can be kept indoors or outdoors, depending on the climate. If outdoor, be sure to bring them inside before the temperature drops below a safe level.
  • Leaf Drop: Ficus bonsai are known to drop their leaves when stressed. This can be caused by changes in light, temperature, or watering. Don’t panic; the plant will usually recover.

By following these care guidelines, you can help your Ficus microcarpa “ginseng” bonsai thrive and remain a beautiful addition to your home.
