With this blog and a heap of research I have compiled what I hope will give you every chance to have a healthy and thriving ginseng ficus. There are a number of aspects to consider in caring for a ficus ginseng but we here cover the basics.
Bonsai Ginseng Health Tips
1. Ventilation
To begin with, it’s important to understand that a healthy ficus ginseng is a result of a combination of ventilation, good air flow and a decent amount of natural light.
2. Water
Of course water is also important but the bonsai ginseng variety is as we all know a very hardy plant and is quite forgiving if it doesn’t get much water for a period. However, to get the best results keep moist and water every week or so, making sure not to soak the plant. A gentle mist will do!
3. Soil

4. Light
While the ficus ginseng can survive in low light conditions, it not surprisingly – given its tropical heritage – will thrive in a well-lit natural light area. So find a part of your house which is both open to a good amount of sun and has fresh air. Another tip is to fertilize every so often.
5. Pruning
Finally, pruning your ficus ginseng bonsai should be done regularly to encourage growth and give it the required shape of a beautiful bonsai. Use a concave cutter to avoid noticeable scarring on the trunk or roots.
