Aerial Roots Ficus Bonsai Tree – 12 Years, 15–17 Inch, Blue Ceramic Pot

12-Year-Old Ficus Bonsai Tree with Aerial Roots

A 12-year-old Ficus Microcarpa bonsai with a thick, S-curved trunk, aerial roots running down the trunk, and layered branches with a full green canopy. It is about 15–17 inches (38–43 cm) tall and comes planted in an 11-inch turquoise-blue glazed ceramic pot with a drainage hole.

Each tree is hand-shaped, so the one you receive will look very close to the photos but not identical. Trunk curve, branch layout and height (15–17 inches) vary slightly from tree to tree.

Frequently asked questions

Can this Ficus bonsai live indoors?
Yes. Keep it near a bright window with a few hours of light, or put it on a balcony with morning sun. Avoid dark corners and AC blowing directly on it.

How often should I water it?
When the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry. That is usually every 2–3 days in summer and less in winter. Water until it drains out of the hole at the bottom.

Will my tree look exactly like the photo?
Very close, but every bonsai is shaped by hand, so trunk curve and branches differ slightly. Height is 15–17 inches.

Why do the leaves drop after delivery?
A few leaves may fall in the first 1–2 weeks as the tree adjusts to a new home. That is normal. Keep it in bright light and don't overwater, and new leaves will come.
