This bonsai tree comes with a pot and saucer, and we also include detailed care instructions.

The Ficus Retusa has smaller leaves, making it ideal for bonsai cultivation. The species is exceptionally hardy, tolerates slightly less light, and is very leaf-hardy. Water less in winter. In the Far East, this tree grows to enormous proportions, and children play among its root systems. These root systems develop when the aerial roots touch the ground and thicken. Trees from (sub)tropical regions are accustomed to more or less constant annual temperatures. Unlike trees from our climate, they don't require a dormant period with a drop in temperature and leaf shedding. This makes these species perfectly suited for indoor cultivation. In the summer, when temperatures exceed 15 degrees Celsius, they can also thrive outdoors, for example on a patio. Generally, they will thrive better outdoors due to the better climatic conditions (humidity, light, and fresh air).
