Why choose the Taiwan Ficus H.90 cm:
At 90 cm tall, the Taiwan Ficus is a striking specimen that brings the refined aesthetics of bonsai into the home in an indoor-friendly size. Its fleshy, bulbous aerial roots, which emerge from the substrate like sculptural tentacles, are this plant's most distinctive and fascinating feature: each specimen is unique, with an unrepeatable shape that makes it a true natural work of art. The dense crown of small, glossy, deep green leaves completes a silhouette of extraordinary tropical elegance.
Care and placement:
Position: Bright, indirect light, preferably near a bright window. The Taiwan Ficus loves light but not direct sunlight. It is important to find the right spot and keep it there: this plant is sensitive to being moved and may lose leaves if it is frequently relocated.
Watering: Moderate and regular. Allow the first 2-3 cm of substrate to dry out between waterings. Reduce the frequency in winter. Avoid both waterlogging and prolonged drought. Mist the leaves occasionally to maintain optimal humidity.
Temperature: Ideally between 18°C and 28°C. Avoid temperatures below 12°C, cold drafts, and sudden temperature fluctuations, which can cause leaf drop.
Interesting facts:
Ficus microcarpa is native to tropical Asia, from southern China and Taiwan to Australia. In nature, it can reach 25 metres in height, developing aerial roots that descend from the branches to the ground and form true natural pillars. It is one of the species most widely used in the art of bonsai around the world, valued for its extraordinary ability to develop spectacular aerial roots and for its hardiness. In many Asian cultures, it is considered a symbol of longevity and prosperity.
Important note: Each plant is a unique living organism. The shape of the aerial roots, trunk, and crown varies from specimen to specimen, making every Taiwan Ficus one of a kind. Images are for illustrative purposes only and are not binding.
