Fig trees are one of the most
loved bonsai for many
reasons. It is an excellent
tree for beginners, as most
species of Ficus are fast
growers, tolerant of most any
soil and light conditions, make
fine indoor bonsai, and
perhaps most importantly, are
remarkably forgiving of those
just learning bonsai watering
techniques. Most Ficus
grow "banyan" roots naturally
given adequate humidity.
