Bonsai Ginseng

Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng Bonsai – Care, Benefits & History

Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng provides a fantastic opportunity to grow a bonsai from juvenility. Fancy a bit of a project? Being a popular bonsai tree with a thick, pot-bellied trunk, similar to the Ginseng root, this plant is destined to grow with a little bit of help and nurture. Whilst this indoor plant is not supplied with a pot, why not accompany it with one of our Bettona or Classic ceramic pots?

Translating from Chinese as “tree in a tray”, the sweet plum bonsai with a ceramic pot is one of the most popular plants on the market! First cared for by Buddhist monks in China, before travelling eastward to Korea and Japan, this Ginseng Ficus Bonsai is the perfect addition to those wanting elegance and serenity in their home.

Bonsai trees have also been shown, in scientific studies, to reduce the incidences of sore throats, dry coughs, colds, and dry skin. The explanation behind this lies behind the bonsai’s ability to naturally regulate your home’s levels of humidity.  Similarly, with their natural ability to bring calmness and serenity to those who look at them, bonsais have also been used as “nature therapy” to quicken rates of psychological and physiological rehabilitation in patients.
