Ginseng is the Chinese word for root and Ficus microcarpa Ginseng is uniquely identifiable by its strong, thick, exposed root system that looks more like a tree trunk than roots. These aerial root systems take years to grow, but over time they develop fascinating, primordial shapes. The leaves are small, dark green and oval-shaped.
Ficus microcarpa has many common names including Pot Belly Fig, Laurel Fig, Laurel Rubber, Curtain Fig and Strangling Fig. Ficus microcarpa Ginseng make excellent bonsai and look brilliant in any contemporary room setting.
The Curtain Fig requires a lot of light, indirect light to be specific. So placing it near a window is ideal for this plant. This plant also does not like to be moved around, so as you fix it for one spot, try to leave it there undisturbed for quite some time.
Light
The Ficus ginseng is a slow grower and really relies on having a good amount of light to grow. Placing the plant on a windowsill is a great option as long as it’s filled with bright, indirect light.
Watering
Water your ginseng ficus thoroughly whenever the soil gets slightly dry. Misting the plant weekly is a good idea, but do not water to the point where the bonsai is dripping, or else fungal issues can occur.
