The type plants ficus ginseng need care very specific to reach its flowering in the best way, and maintain the intense green color of its leaves for longer.
We cannot begin to know all the characteristics of this plant/tree, without saying two things. The first is that there are between 800 and 2,000 different species of the ficus genus, which causes variations in size, color, and shape. The second is that this plant has nothing to do with normal ginseng (which is the medicinal plant).
Although it is very similar to the ficus benjamina and its care is quite similar, it is almost impossible to address the requirements for each species of ficus. What we can teach you are some generalities that can help you take care of these types of plants in the best way, so take note and put them into practice:
Ficus ginseng outdoor care
It is very common to see that ficus ginseng are planted directly on the ground in spaces such as gardens and terraces, or that they adorn spaces inside homes in pots. The exteriors are places that favor him, because highly resistant to temperature changes But you should pay close attention to avoid direct sunlight. A good recommendation that we can give you is that you locate the plant in areas away from drafts, since they can easily burn its leaves.
Ficus ginseng potted care
These plants can also be located in dimly lit interiors, but it is always recommended that they be very close to the light. When using a pot, keep in mind that its width should be large but its depth may not matter as much. That if, the container you want to use to locate it, must be its recurring home because it is not very easy to transplant it. The substrate to be used should not be too acidic since the roots would not adapt in the best way and it would quickly wither.
Bonsai ficus ginseng care
It will be a precious decoration that will need really little care! This little tree can be kept indoors or outdoors, even in warm climates. Its watering should be given only when the soil is dry and without exceeding the amount of water. As for pruning, it should be done in times of hot and humid temperatures. (spring and summer), cutting branches and leaves that are defective or burned.
Among the most common reasons for this problem to occur are excess darkness, that the plant may miss its pot or the place where it was planted directly into the ground, the appearance of fungi or insects that may be affecting it or the changes in irrigation cycles, which could be far apart in time or that you are even applying too much water and the roots are starting to drown.
you should put directly water at room temperatureas well as misting it daily to maintain moisture, but taking care not to overdo it as this would give way to the appearance of fungi.
