Know before you buy
It is common for the Ficus Ginseng to experience temporary leaf drop when adjusting to a new environment. This is a stress response to changes in light, temperature, or humidity, and the plant should stabilize once it acclimates to your space.
No, this plant is toxic to animals if ingested. We recommend placing it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
The Ficus Ginseng prefers bright, filtered light. While it can handle some direct sun, avoid harsh, prolonged afternoon rays which may scorch the leaves.
This plant has moderate watering needs. Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out completely before watering again, ensuring the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
We treat every plant with organic, cold-pressed Neem Oil before shipment as a preventative measure. This helps ensure your plant arrives healthy and free of common pests.
The plant is potted in a specialized blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. This mix is designed to provide the necessary aeration and drainage required for the root system to stay healthy.
