Sunlight
Ginseng ficus bonsai should be kept in full sunlight. It can be kept outdoors in the summer months but only if temperatures remain above 60 degrees at all times. Otherwise, keep temperatures constant indoors.
Watering
Unlike many other types of bonsai trees, ginseng ficus bonsai can endure periods of low humidity. It has thick, waxy leaves that do not require quite as much water. However, just because they can endure less water doesn’t mean that they should.
Ideally, you should water your plant every day or whenever the soil gets dry. Daily misting is ideal since this will maintain humidity without oversaturating the soil and creating fungal problems.
