Tiger Bark Ficus is an evergreen tropical species of fig. Some figs can become very large trees with a crown circumference of more than 300 m (1000 ft). Typical for all fig Bonsai species is their milky latex sap, which will leak from wounds or cuts.
Its light to dark gray trunk thickens well and aerial roots develop from the trunk and branches in humid shady environments.
Lighting: The ficus will grow in deep shade to full sun. For best results in reducing the leaf and
internode size, grow in full or nearly full sun.
Wooden display stand is not included with your purchase.
⚠️ Add a heat pack at checkout if temps in your area fall below 40°F
☀️ Lighting ☀️
Tiger Bark Ficus thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but also tolerates a few hours of direct morning or late afternoon sun.
Place it near a south or east-facing window indoors, or outdoors in a bright, partially shaded spot.
For dense foliage and compact growth, provide 6+ hours of light daily.
If natural light is limited, a grow light can help maintain healthy leaves.
Rotate the bonsai occasionally for even growth on all sides.
💧 Watering 💧
Keep the soil evenly moist, but never soggy.
Water thoroughly when the top of the soil feels slightly dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain completely.
During the growing season (spring through early fall), you may need to water every 2–3 days depending on temperature and airflow.
In cooler months, reduce watering frequency but never let the rootball dry out completely.
Mist the leaves occasionally to increase humidity and keep them clean and glossy.
🌥️Weather☀️
This tropical species thrives in warm, humid conditions between 65°F – 85°F (18°C – 29°C).
It is sensitive to cold — avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
If grown indoors, keep it away from air conditioning or heating vents.
To maintain humidity, place a humidity tray beneath the pot or mist regularly.
Outdoors, the Ficus enjoys gentle breezes and consistent warmth.
