How to care for it

Keep the plant indoors all year round in front of a bright window, never below 12-14 °C and away from radiators and cold draughts. Water when the top centimetre of the soil feels dry: in summer this may mean every one or two days, in winter even every 4-5 days.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Will I receive exactly the plant shown in the photograph?

A: No. As this is a wedding favour produced in series, the photo shows a representative specimen of the same variety. Every piece is the same species, Ficus retusa, in the same 18 x 12 x 6 cm pot, but the line of the trunk and the shape of the canopy vary slightly from plant to plant.

Q: Is the pot included in the price?

A: Yes. The bonsai arrives already planted in the rectangular blue glazed ceramic pot measuring 18 x 12 x 6 cm, complete with soil and surface dressing. No immediate repotting is needed: the plant can stay in this container for its first few seasons without any problem.

Q: Is it suitable as a wedding favour for a large reception?

A: Yes, it is one of the most popular formats for ceremonies and corporate gifting. Since it is produced in series, you can order multiple pieces that are uniform in species, pot size and plant height, around 30-35 cm. For larger quantities it is best to let us know the date of the event well in advance.
