Ficus Microcarpa Tiger Bark Bonsai Tree – 12 Years, 70cm

Ficus microcarpa 'Tiger Bark' is a striking variety of the hardy Ficus microcarpa (Chinese Banyan), named for its pale, mottled, tiger-striped bark. This hand-shaped specimen is around 12 years old and about 70 cm tall, planted in a durable plastic pot. Its pale, tiger-striped bark makes it a distinctive collector's piece.

Care

The Ficus Microcarpa is one of the easiest and most forgiving bonsai to keep, ideal for first-time growers and busy homes alike.

• Sunlight: bright, indirect light with a little morning sun; it also tolerates lower light indoors
• Watering: water when the top layer of soil begins to dry; keep it lightly moist, never soggy
• Fertilizing: feed once every 30–60 days with NPK 19:19:19 or vermicompost
• Pruning: trim lightly and regularly to hold its shape and encourage new growth

Ideal for

Compact, sculptural and slow-grown, this Ficus makes a thoughtful bonsai tree for gifting — a memorable housewarming or Griha Pravesh present, a calming companion for an office desk, or a low-maintenance green centrepiece. It thrives indoors in bright spots and enjoys warm spells outdoors in light shade. Every bonsai is selected and shaped by hand at Abana Homes and arrives carefully packed, ready to display.
