Ficus retusa, often sold as Ginseng Ficus, is one of the most recognisable indoor bonsai-style houseplants — with its thick sculptural roots and glossy leaves, it has a calm and steady presence that fits beautifully into UK homes. This slow-growing, long-living tree maintains its shape with light pruning and adapts well to average UK home conditions, making it equally suited to beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts alike. Supplied in a 12cm pot, the Ficus Ginseng Bonsai also works as a stunning gift — a unique, living piece of natural sculpture that will be enjoyed for years to come.

Ficus Ginseng 12cm

Bring a touch of natural artistry to your home with the captivating Ficus Ginseng, often referred to as Bonsai Ficus. This eye-catching plant features a unique swollen root system that emerges above the soil, resembling a ginseng root (hence its name, meaning 'root' in Chinese), topped with a canopy of glossy green leaves. 

The Ficus Ginseng is a versatile plant that can even enjoy a summer outdoors on a patio, provided it's sheltered from the harsh midday sun. Its distinctive exposed roots and lush foliage create an intriguing architectural silhouette. While not specifically listed as a "Pet Friendly House Plant", it's advisable to keep it out of reach of curious pets.
