Ficus ginseng — Sculptural indoor bonsai
🌤️ Bright interior / Partial shade • 🌿 Evergreen foliage • 💧 Moderate watering • 🪴 Easy care
The Ficus ginseng is a fascinating indoor plant, appreciated for its exposed roots and natural bonsai silhouette. A symbol of serenity and balance, it brings a zen and refined touch to any interior.
Originating from tropical Asia, this ficus microcarpa with a sculptural trunk is known for its longevity and ease of care. Perfect for creating a calming atmosphere in a living room, office, or bright entrance.
Exposure & location
The Ficus ginseng likes bright light without direct sun. It thrives in bright rooms, at a stable temperature, away from drafts. In summer, it can be placed outside on a sheltered terrace.
- Exposure: bright interior or partial shade.
- Ideal: living room, office, or entrance with natural light.
- Temperature: between 18 and 28 °C, avoid cold (<15 °C).
- Substrate: rich and well-drained to avoid water stagnation.
Verdeia tip: regularly rotate your ficus for even growth and well-balanced foliage.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate; water as soon as the soil surface dries, without excess.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer for green plants.
- Pruning: cut young shoots to maintain its compact bonsai shape.
- Care: simple; dust the leaves to promote photosynthesis.
- Repotting: every 2 years in spring in a rich and airy substrate.
Use non-calcareous water and ensure good drainage to preserve the health of its thick roots.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
The Ficus ginseng stands as a true living sculpture. Its knotted trunk and dense foliage make it a natural focal point in a zen, minimalist, or contemporary decor.
- To pair with: Zamioculcas, Sansevieria, or tropical bonsais for a harmonious composition.
- Ideal pot: matte ceramic or decorative pot with texture to highlight its natural elegance.
- Ambiance: perfect for a reading corner, a calming entrance, or a green office.
Play on contrasts: pair your ficus with natural materials like light wood or raw stone for a zen effect.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
