Bonsai Ginseng Deluxe XXL: A luxurious gift that everyone falls for!

Ficus Ginseng is a true showpiece that you won't get tired of! This species is characterized by somewhat larger leaves and visible roots above the ground. Originally, Ficus Ginseng is found in Southeast Asia, Australia, China and India. In the Netherlands, this little tree is kept as an indoor plant, since this tree is not winter hardy. The Ginseng is a very popular species, because of the whimsical shapes its roots can take. This Ginseng XXL, with a height of about 55 cm, comes with a sturdy, gray stone pot, nutrition, bonsai booklet and care tips. This is a very strong Bonsai variety that is easy to care for and can take a beating. A great gift to give, but definitely to keep for yourself!

Frequently asked questions about the Bonsai

Plants terrarium royalty

A bonsai tree is a miniature tree that is carefully and precisely grown to replicate an adult tree in miniature form. The word "bonsai" comes from Japanese and means "planted in a bowl."

Although growing bonsai requires some dedication, they are not necessarily difficult to maintain. It takes patience and care, but with the right knowledge and techniques, even beginners can successfully grow bonsai trees.

Yes, many bonsai trees can be kept indoors as long as they receive adequate light and proper care. However, some species are more suitable for indoor cultivation than others.

The frequency of pruning a bonsai tree depends on the specific species and the desired shape. It is generally recommended to prune in spring and summer to maintain the desired shape.

Some popular types of bonsai trees include the Japanese maple, Chinese elm, ficus and juniper. These trees offer several opportunities for bonsai artists because of their diverse shapes and leaves.

Bonsai trees

Bonsai trees, admired and cherished for centuries, are true masterpieces of nature in miniature form. Originating in China and later brought to Japan, this art form offers a captivating way to experience the splendor of trees in a compact, refined form. Bonsai trees are much more than just plants; they tell stories and carry meanings. Each consciously designed branch and trained root reflect the care and dedication of the grower. The process of growing and maintaining bonsai is an art in itself, involving patience, ingenuity and attention to detail.

Oxygen plants are a must for any pond!
Sufficiently oxygenating underwater plants in the pond means you will NOT need a pump and filter. Oxygenating plants filter the water and block the sun. This causes the water to heat up less which reduces the formation of algae. Oxygen plants also provide shelter for fish from impending danger. All of our oxygen plants are hardy and are supplied from our own aquatic plant nursery with a 100% growth and flowering guarantee. For oxygen plants, I recommend a minimum of 10 to 12 individual plants per m³ (1000 liters of water) and 2 baskets of 4 plants per m². The amount needed depends on how quickly you want the pond to balance and your visual requirements.
