Ginseng Ficus (Ficus microcarpa) looks like a tiny tree, with glossy green leaves above a thick, unique exposed root base. Place it on a bright desk or shelf and trim new growth to maintain its compact bonsai-like outline. Root shape, canopy fullness, and leaf arrangement vary naturally.

Points of interest and size

  • One live Ginseng Ficus in a 4-inch nursery grow pot with soil. This is the thick-rooted ficus form, not a braided Money Tree.
  • A small tabletop plant when shipped. Without regular pruning and with suitable conditions, its canopy can grow much larger over time; prune to maintain a compact form. No exact mature indoor height is promised.

What you receive

One live Ginseng Ficus in its 4-inch nursery grow pot with soil. Decorative planters and furnishings are not included.

Optional decorative planters

Pair it with the black BASEL 4.7-inch planter or white BASEL 4.7-inch planter. Decorative planters are sold separately and not included with the plant.

Care guide

  • Light: Bright indirect light is ideal; gentle direct morning sun can suit an acclimated plant. Rotate periodically and avoid abrupt changes in light, which can trigger leaf drop.
  • Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of mix feel dry, then drain excess. Check soil rather than following a rigid schedule, and water less often in cooler, dimmer months. Avoid standing water and soggy roots.
  • Soil: Use a free-draining bonsai or houseplant mix with added perlite in a pot with drainage holes. Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately; amend with perlite or fine bark as needed for aeration.
  • Temperature and humidity: Average to moderate indoor humidity is generally suitable. Keep warm and away from cold drafts, air-conditioning blasts, and hot vents.
  • Feeding: During active growth, follow fertilizer label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding during winter or inactivity and extreme heat or cold. Avoid feeding stressed or newly repotted plants.
  • Pruning: Trim elongated shoots just above leaves with clean shears to shape the canopy. Remove dead leaves; avoid cutting or burying the distinctive exposed root base. Wear gloves if sensitive to sap.
  • Repotting: When roots crowd the pot, refresh draining mix and move up one pot size if needed, keeping the root base at its original level.
  • Propagation: Root healthy stem cuttings with a node in warm, bright indirect conditions. A cutting will not immediately develop the mature swollen root form of the plant you receive.

Pet safety

Keep away from cats and dogs: chewing ficus can cause irritation or digestive upset, and its sap may irritate sensitive skin.
