How to care for it

Keep it indoors in front of a bright window, away from radiators and cold draughts, with temperatures not dropping below 12-14 °C. Water when the substrate is dry on the surface: in summer this may mean every day, in winter even every 4-5 days. From May to September the ficus enjoys a spell outdoors in partial shade.

Frequently asked questions

Is the plant I receive the one in the photograph?

Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind specimen and the photo shows exactly the plant that will be sent. As it is a living plant, the foliage may look different from the picture due to natural growth, pruning, pinching or seasonal changes.

How much space is needed to display it?

The pot takes up a 46 x 35 cm base and the plant reaches 70 cm in height, so the overall footprint is close to 90 cm from the floor on a low piece of furniture. A stable surface is needed: the whole thing weighs 14.3 kg.

Is the pot included in the price?

Yes, the bonsai arrives in the 46 x 35 x h. 15 cm rectangular unglazed stoneware pot shown in the photo, already potted and ready to place. The package also includes the specimen's certificate.
