Bonsai Ficus Retusa (Table Plant)

Blozem Hints 🪴

🌱Retaining all that water weight!

Ficus stores water in its thick exposed roots, meaning you only need to water every 1-2 weeks.

🌱Leaf drop may occur with insufficient light. Find a brighter spot out of the direct sunlight and your plant should quickly recover.

🌱Give your Ficus a trim to maintain the desired shape.

Ficus prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some partial shade. Harsh, direct sunlight may burn the leaves.

Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil slightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause leaf drop.

This Ficus has no specific humidity requirements, although for an added boost, consider occasionally misting your plant or relocate to steamier rooms like the kitchen or bathroom.

Feed

fertiliser can be applied during the growing season, once a month or so should be sufficient.

Height & Growth Rate

In their native environment, Ficus grow into very tall trees. Indoors, simply trim to maintain desired height and shape. Moderately fast-growing.
