How to Take Care of Ficus Willowleaf Bonsai

Sun: Direct – Indirect

This bonsai thrives in bright indoor light. Consistent lighting helps maintain compact growth and healthy foliage. Supplement with a grow light if natural light is limited.

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy some direct sun, but they’ll also do well in bright, indirect light. Ideally, place your Ficus Willowleaf Bonsai near an east- or south-facing window where it gets morning sun or filtered afternoon rays.

Water: When Mostly Dry

Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out before watering. Water deeply until it drains from the pot, and avoid leaving it sitting in excess water to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Moderate - High

They adapt to average home humidity but appreciate occasional misting or placement near a humidity tray for extra lush growth.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Ficus Willowleaf Bonsai is toxic if ingested by cats, dogs, or small pets. Keep out of reach of curious animals.

Pro Tip

Rotate your bonsai weekly to encourage even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light. Prune regularly to maintain its graceful, willow-like shape.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
