Ficus microcarpa grows wild in the tropics of South and East Asia and Queensland, and has been widely introduced in mild climate zones all around the world, including Southern Europe. The Ginseng Bonsai plants are produced in nurseries by grafting young foliage onto older wood
Despite its tropical origins, Ficus microcarpa can tolerate quite cool conditions, making it ideal for conservatories as well as warmer parts of the home. The plant does require good light and benefits from occasional misting with tepid water
