Ficus retusa 'Ginseng'
Ficus retusa 'Ginseng' is a distinctive bonsai-style houseplant with a thick, swollen trunk resembling ginseng roots and a dense canopy of glossy green leaves. Its sculptural form and miniature tree-like appearance give it plenty of character and make it a striking indoor feature.
Well suited to bright indoor spaces, 'Ginseng' adapts well to both home and office environments. Its compact size and architectural trunk make it ideal for desks, shelves or windowsills, while regular pruning helps maintain its neat, bonsai-style shape.
