Etter at jeg kjøpte to nye Ficus Ginseng i dag ble jeg veldig nysgjerrig på hvor de kom fra og hvordan de ble odlet, og på nettet fant jeg denne sidene: http://ficusweb.com/ficus-microcarpa-ginseng.html – http://www.bonsai-made-easy.com/bonsaiginsengficus.html
The stunning Ginseng Ficus, otherwise known as a Banyan Fig, is a fantastic addition to a Bonsai collection or as a first Bonsai.
Why is is a great first Bonsai? Well, the Ginseng Ficus is considered to be one of the easiest Bonsai trees to grow. Perfect for beginners!
Native to South-East Asia, the Bonsai Ginseng Ficus is a slow-growing evergreen plant, belonging to the Fig family. It looks proud and intricate in the wild and it is totally possible to achieve the same effect at home.
The Bonsai Ginseng Ficus is considered to be incredibly interesting, mainly due to it’s complex and aesthetically pleasing root system. Their roots appear above ground as a warping, wrapping bunch of fingers.
The leaves are oval-shaped and can be a very vivid green during the growing season. It is entirely normal for dead leaves to drop during Winter and Autumn.
