I started this Bonsai from a cutting collected from my favourite Weeping Fig which I have owned for 30 years and I’ve cherished it as it is hardy, has a beautiful, lush foliage and doesn’t need special care.

For this creation from it, I found a lovely chunk of a clay pot and I added glass mirrors and squares and patterned stones. I think it’s very unique. I’ve also added a sign - ‘This way to the beach’. It has been regularly repotted, trimmed, fed and given various levels of sunshine
depending on growth requirements. I’ve aimed for a bushy look, slanting trunk and unique theme.

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 green, glossy and small. It will make an ideal Bonsai pet for anyone needing a low care Bonsai that is harmonious to peace and tranquillity.
