| The Willow Leaf Ficus, or Ficus Mexicana, is another indoor bonsai tree that is both pleasing to the eye and easy to care for. Ficus do well with moderate watering and adapt readily to an indoor environment. I mist my Ficus bonsai several times a week with a mild foliar fertilizer. This helps the Ficus maintain a thick, green canopy of the slender willow-like leaves. Ficus have a tendency to grow roots above the ground; which allows bonsai artists to place the Ficus on a rock or crystal. The young branches are easily shaped by wiring to a desired shape until the branches lignify and harden. The Willow Leaf Ficus is a wonderful indoor bonsai tree for amateurs and seasoned veterans alike! Happy bonsai-ing! Positively, Truman |
