30 - 40cm Ficus Belize Grafted Ginseng 19cm Pot House Plant
Ficus Belize is a type of ficus that is popular for bonsai because of its small, glossy leaves and dense growth habit. Here are some general care tips for keeping your Ficus Belize bonsai healthy:
-
Light: Ficus Belize bonsai prefer bright, indirect light. Place your bonsai near a window that receives plenty of sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves.
-
Watering: Water your Ficus Belize bonsai sparingly. Wait until the soil has slightly dried out before watering it again. During the winter months, the bonsai will require even less water. It's important not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
-
Soil: Plant your Ficus Belize bonsai in well-draining soil, such as a mix of bonsai soil, perlite, and sand. The soil should be moist but not waterlogged.
-
Temperature: Ficus Belize bonsai prefer warm temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C). Protect your bonsai from extreme temperatures, such as frost or heat waves.
-
Humidity: Ficus Belize bonsai prefer moderate to high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier near the plant, or by placing a tray of water near the plant.
-
Fertilizer: Fertilize your Ficus Belize bonsai during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates.
-
Pruning: Ficus Belize bonsai benefit from regular pruning to maintain their shape and size. Trim back new growth to encourage branching and fuller foliage.
-
Repotting: Repot your Ficus Belize bonsai every 2-3 years, or when it outgrows its current pot. Use a slightly larger pot and fresh soil.
With proper care, your Ficus Belize bonsai should thrive and grow into a beautiful, healthy plant.
