Environment

This particular tree does not need much attention. You will only need to water it twice or thrice a week at most. The best way to keep your Ficus moist and happy is to mist it with a spray bottle every day.

Feed only in the growing season. You should only fertilize bonsai, however, during the growing season and not during winter or late fall. The basic time for feeding is from late spring through early fall. This type of bonsai can survive without direct sunlight, but you will have a much happier and healthier tree if you place it near a window or an area that receives a lot of sunlight. Repotting should always take place right after the colder season and the beginning of the spring season every three years.
