Light:

The Ficus is a tropical plant, and Green Island Ficus Bonsai thrives in hot, humid circumstances. This plant, which has tropical characteristics, grows amazingly wild in USDA hardiness zones 9 through 11.

If you live in a region with cold and dry seasons, planting your green island Ficus in a container inside is excellent because you can bring it inside when the weather drops drastically. If you’re growing it outside, make sure it gets plenty of sunshine, but also consider giving it some shade to keep the leaves from being scorched.

Note: If you’re growing your Ficus inside, make sure it gets at least 6 hours of bright indirect light every day. Consider placing it on a covered porch, as the huge glass windows collect more humidity than the rest of the house.

Temperature:

Green Island Ficus Bonsai likes a warmer climate, although it can withstand temperatures as low as 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yet, for the most part, it requires a frost-free environment, so bringing it indoors and adjusting the room temperature throughout the winter months will go a long way toward keeping your Ficus in good shape.

Watering:

The Green Island Ficus does not require much watering. You can water it twice or three times per week during the warmer months until it reaches maturity. To water your Ficus, you must utilize the soak and dry approach.

Note: Use a growth pot with plenty of drainage holes to drain any excess water that can harm the roots. 

Allow the soil to completely dry up before watering your Ficus again to avoid infections caused by overwatering. Even if this green island bonsai is drought-tolerant, that doesn’t imply you should neglect it entirely. Water your bonsai plant equally if you’re growing it outside, especially if rainfall is rare.

Soil:

Use regular potting soil with adequate drainage capacity. When the temperatures are below freezing or humidity levels are low, the Green Island Ficus bonsai will not particularly demand soil and transplant requirements.

Peat moss would help the soil to retain some moisture, while compost manure would reduce the demand for synthetic fertilizers. Hence, they are good for your Green Island Ficus Bonsai.

Fertilizing:

Fertilizers boost the health of plants, particularly those in containers. They are used in the field to replace nutrients that the bonsai use. You can use granular fertilizers or slow-release liquid feed.

Note: The incorrect application of fertilizer can hurt your green ficus bonsai. To avoid the root burn, water your bonsai plant before adding fertilizer.

Pruning:

You should prune your bonsai to get rid of dead branches and encourage bushy growth.
