Also known as the beginner's bonsai! It requires little care. Its small tree-like appearance is actually the result of grafting two plants together. One part contains its imposing, branched roots, and the other its small, glossy green leaves. To maintain its bonsai appearance, it is recommended to prune new shoots in the spring. It also prefers high humidity and is very susceptible to root rot. Avoid letting water remain in the saucer. Like all fig trees, it does not like to be moved.

Caution: Handle with care! This plant contains latex and may cause irritation if it comes into contact with skin and eyes. May be toxic if swallowed.

Est ce que je fais bien?

Il a perdu toutes les petites feuilles qu'il avait.

Bonjour Nicole,
Il est normal que le ficus perdent quelques feuilles. C'est une plante très sensible au changement d'environnement ou au courant d'air. Laissez lui quelques semaines afin de s'accomoder à son nouvel environnement et de nouvelles feuilles vont revenir. Vous pouvez couper les branches qui sont complètement dégarnies. Assurez-vous qu'il n'est pas près de l'air climatisé ou toute source de courant d'air. J'espère que ses conseils vont vous aider. Vous pouvez nous écrire par courriel si vous avez besoin plus de renseignements.
