BEGINNER-FRIENDLY
Oriental Ficus Bonsai Tree – Small
$52.49
Ficus benjamina 'Orientalis' is one of the more adaptable ficus varieties for bonsai, developing a nice branching structure over time and tolerating indoor conditions better than a lot of species. It can be a little sensitive to being moved around — it may drop leaves if you shift its spot — but once it settles in, it tends to be pretty steady. A solid choice if you're newer to bonsai but want something with real long-term potential.

Pot Style and Color will Vary. Tree shown is representative, sharing similar shape, style, and maturity, but is not the exact tree you will receive.
- Water: Water thoroughly when the top of the soil starts to dry out, and don't let it sit in standing water. Consistent moisture is key — avoid swinging between bone dry and soaking wet.
- Light: Bright indirect light is ideal; a spot near a window works well. It can handle some direct morning sun, but harsh afternoon sun can scorch the leaves.
- Temp: Keep it above 60°F and away from cold drafts or heating vents. This is a tropical tree and doesn't appreciate sudden temperature changes.
- Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually fine, but if your home is very dry in winter, a humidity tray or occasional misting can help keep the leaves happy.
