Where to place a Ficus Bonsai?

The Ficus bonsai should be kept indoors as it cannot endure frosts. They require a good amount of light so choose a space that receives plenty of full sunlight. If placed in a position with partial shade, keep an eye on the bonsai but this should not be a significant issue as they are a forgiving species which are easy to maintain.

The temperature of the room should be kept relatively constant and make sure you keep it away from central heating and cold draughts as this can dry out the root base. However, they will appreciate being placed outside during the summer to allow new growth, as long as temperatures do not drop below 15 °C. The Ficus also benefits from higher humidity levels and will not develop aerial roots without it. Heightened humidity can be achieved by using a mister to spray the leaves, as well as placing a gravel tray under the pot to create a more humid microclimate around the tree.
