I started forming this Weeping Fig into a Bonsai several years ago. It was 1.2 metres tall and had a beautiful leaf colour, shape and gloss. I wanted to reduce the height and keep the knobbly trunk and exposed roots. With careful training over several years I created a canopy at 54 cm. With continual leaf trims and branch shaping this Bonsai will give it’s new owner years of beauty and an easy care life.
This Bonsai grows very rapidly in summer and autumn, then slows down in winter. Spring growth is very slow and requires protection from pests such as sucking insects (thrip and scale). It’s not especially thirsty or hungry, the leaves are heart shaped, pale/dark green, glossy and small. It makes an ideal Bonsai pet for anyone needing a low care Bonsai that is harmonious to peace and tranquillity.
If you are not sure of your responsibility for our May Bonsai Of the Month, please note:
1. Prefers to live in a protected, part shade area but outdoors.
2. Prefers to be watered deeply once a week, much less often in winter and more often in summer.
3. A slow growing Fig during autumn and winter, it will require very little maintenance.
All Bonsai Palace Bonsai are presented with a Bonsai Birth Certificate and detailed care instructions. Also, we offer a free ‘feed and groom’ for each Bonsai within three months of purchase. Just visit Liana at the Palmyra Market on a Sunday for free Bonsai advice.
