Imported Ficus Bonsai
Ficus microcarpa
These are ficus microcarpa specimens with heavy, fused aerial-root trunks — the exposed, muscular root structure that takes years to develop and cannot be faked. We buy them in as young trained material and grow them on here, so they are fully acclimatised to Pakistani conditions before they are offered.
Ficus bonsai is the most forgiving entry point into bonsai. It tolerates indoor light, recovers quickly from a mistimed prune, and back-buds readily, so a badly shaped tree can be corrected rather than written off.
- Heavy fused aerial-root trunks developed over years
- Grown on here for at least a season before sale — fully acclimatised
- The most forgiving species for a first bonsai

How to look after your Imported Ficus Bonsai
Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.
- Light
- Bright light, including a few hours of direct morning sun. Ficus dislikes being moved — pick a spot and leave it.
- Water
- When the top 3–4 cm dries out. Consistency matters more than volume; erratic watering causes leaf drop.
- Humidity
- Moderate to high. Dry air causes leaf-edge browning on fiddle leaf figs in particular.
- Soil
- Well-draining, loam-based mix.
- Feeding
- Balanced feed every 3 weeks from March to September.
- Temperature
- 18–32°C. Above 13°C in winter, away from draughts.
If something goes wrong
Sudden leaf drop after coming home
Why it happens: Shock from the change in light and humidity.
What to do: Normal. Keep conditions steady and do not repot for at least a month. New growth follows.
Brown blotches spreading from the leaf edge
Why it happens: Overwatering or root damage.
What to do: Check that water is draining freely and let the mix dry further between waterings.
Leaning toward the window
Why it happens: Phototropism.
What to do: Turn the pot a quarter-turn every fortnight.
