United Nursery Ficus Retusa Live Bonsai in 6 in. Premium Ecopots Pure White

Grown by United Nursery, the Ficus Retusa Bonsai or as it is more commonly known, as the Banyan Fig, is a round, rapidly growing, broad headed evergreen tree with a beautiful full spread. The small dark green glossy and leathery leaves, which alternate up the stem, are densely clothed on its large somewhat weeping branches. New growth is produced all year long and is a light rose to chartreuse color, giving the tree a lovely 2-toned effect. The smooth, light Grey to reddish bark dotted with small, horizontal flecks, similar to tiger like markings, is quite striking and firmly supports the massively spreading canopy. The Retusa is among the most tolerant, versatile and trouble-free bonsai trees for indoor use. To beautify your plant use containers with drain holes to drain excess water and keep your plant healthy. The plant is perfectly paired with a beautifully designed decorative pot made from 100% recycled plastics and natural minerals and hand finished for a distinctive natural look.
