Water thoroughly and deeply when the soil surface is just slightly dry. Don’t let the soil get completely dry, but it shouldn’t be constantly soggy, either.
Mist often with a spray bottle too. It helps take the burden off of the roots, especially on a very hot and dry Utah day.
Avoid putting your Ficus near a draft or vent, which dries out the foliage. A humidity tray is a great way to increase humidity. These shallow trays filled with small stones have water in the bottom of the tray. Make sure the water does not reach the bottom of the Bonsai pot. As the water evaporates, it creates a moister environment.
Use an organic liquid fertilizer or a chemical fertilizer diluted to one half strength, applied every two weeks during the growing season and once a month in the winter. Ficus responds quickly and enthusiastically to fertilizing; do not skip it.
Bonsai are planted in traditional pots; shallow, glazed ceramic, with drainage holes. Pots come in a variety of colors: ivory, blue, green aqua, black, red. You may list color preferences in the “Special Instructions” field after your selection is added to your shopping cart, and we will do our best to accommodate! Colors cannot be guaranteed, however.
