The Ficus Ginseng Bonsai Plant Story

Ficus Ginseng, also known as Ficus Microcarpa or Indian Laurel, is a South Asian plant native to India and Malaysia. The word ‘Ginseng’ relates to the shape of this little tree as it means roots in Chinese.

It takes years for this little tree to grow its unique thick curved aerial roots, and much careful pruning is used to achieve the bonsai’s perfect miniature scale.
