Interview :

• Exposure: Place your Ficus bonsai in a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight which could burn its leaves. Indirect light is ideal.

• Watering: Water regularly, but allow the substrate to dry slightly between two waterings. In winter, reduce the frequency of watering. Use room temperature water.

• Humidity: Appreciates a humid atmosphere. You can spray its leaves with non-calcareous water to increase ambient humidity.

• Temperature: Maintain a stable room temperature between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

• Substrate: Use a well-draining mixture, such as a special bonsai substrate or a mixture of potting soil and sand.

• Fertilization: Fertilize your Ficus bonsai every 2 to 4 weeks during the growing period (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer, specially designed for bonsai or green plants. In winter, reduce or stop fertilizing.

• Pruning: Prune regularly to maintain the desired shape and encourage compact growth. Pruning is preferably done in spring or summer.

• Repotting: Repot every 2 to 3 years in spring, lightly pruning the roots to stimulate their growth.
