Ficus retusa. Bonsai 5 years. Chinese banyan. The so-called indoor trees are mostly trees from tropical origins, that do not support low temperatures. We must place them indoors, always close to a source of natural light. It is a tropical evergreen leaf tree. Appreciated for its high resistance and the growth of air-roots giving great character.

Location: Ideally in a Mediterranean climate outdoors during the summer months and protected from cold temperatures during winter. In colder climates keep in a greenhouse throughout the year.

Watering: Generously in summer and decreasing in winter.

Curiosities: Growth of air-roots is a characteristic of many ficus species. The air-roots act as a strong support and aid the branches to grow extensively over great areas.

Dimensions in centimeters approx. (width x depth x height): 19 x 17 x 27
