If youve ever wanted to try bonsai culture, Willow Leaf Ficus Bonsai, also known as Ficus salicifolia, is one of the best plants for beginners. Its small, narrow, willow-like leaves give it the appearance of a miniature tree and within a short amount of time the trunk will form a thickened caudex. Grow in direct sunlight but some shade is acceptable as well. This bonsai can survive for years and every summer during its active growing season, you will get new growth that adds to its form. Dry out between waterings and wire if necessary for shape and form. Shipped in a 6 bonsai pot (assorted colors and shapes).
