Ficus microcarpa 'Compacta'
The perfect plant for any bonsai lover, each Ficus microcarpa has its own unique character. Lush bright-green tufts of leaves sit atop a wonderful serpentine trunk, which twists and turns as it ages.
Watering
In S/S water when 20% of the top soil has dried out. In A/W allow top soil to dry out 50%..
Light requirements
Bright, indirect.
Feed
To encourage green leaves you can feed your ficus from April - September with a nitrogen-heavy plant food.
Repotting
These Ficus like to be pot bound as it helps to encourage smaller leaves and a more compact growing habit. However, it is an idea to replenish the soil every two years and give the roots a little more space to grow. We recommend you use a well-draining houseplant compost and only go up one pot size.
