FICUS BONSAI

Ficus Bonsai Trees are mainly tropical plants growing throughout south-eastern Asia. There are many species of Ficus. Ones found commonly in bonsai include Retusa, Religiosa, Carica, Benjamina and others. Ficus produce glossy, waxy leaves which are long lasting. They can feature aerial roots from the trunk and branches. In bonsai it is most frequently found in the informal upright style and in small groups. It also lends itself to formal upright, slanting, semi-cascade, twin-trunk, triple-truck and clasped to rock. With care it can be kept indoors and is therefore a popular choice for bonsai here in the UAE.
