Habitat

This Ficus Retusa must be located inside the houses, always near a source of natural light. Evergreen tropical tree. Very appreciated for its great resistance and the emission of aerial roots, which give it a lot of character.

In addition to the emission of aerial roots, it creates a dreamlike atmosphere within the room as it develops until it reaches aging. A bonsai that has a simple design but an elegant appearance, and is one of the most valued ficus species. The notches on the trunk are coral red, giving this bonsai a distinguished appearance.

Watering and care

It is not a species that is too demanding with the frequency of watering, since it can withstand long periods of drought. However, the ideal is to water every time we notice that the substrate is almost dry, especially in summer. The quality of the water will not be decisive either and tap water can be used without any problem.

Pruning and Pinching

To keep the Ficus retusa bonsai in good condition, it is necessary to rinse its branches once a year. If we only pinch the long shoots, the branches become tangled, lose shape and become ugly. The Ficus retusa are trees that grow a lot and that is why the tips of the branches get fat easily.
