পান্না সবুজ বনসাই

Lush emerald ficus bonsai potted in ceramic dish. Ficus microcarpa 'Green Emerald' (Emerald Green Ficus) is a popular bonsai cultivar known for its extremely thick, fleshy, dark green leaves and willingness to fruit readily. Native to tropical Asia (India to China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Australia). Features a bulbous, thick trunk (often grafted) with aerial roots that create an aged appearance. Excellent beginner bonsai - tolerant of indoor conditions, adapts to various light levels, and holds foliage well. Can produce small figs (syconia) in ideal conditions. Repot every 2-3 years in summer. Milky sap is toxic if ingested.

**💧 Watering:** Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. **💡 Lighting:** Prefers bright, indirect light (e.g., near an east-facing window). Avoid harsh direct midday sun. **✂️ Pruning:** Prune back dead or yellowing leaves regularly. Pinch new shoots to maintain a compact, desired shape and encourage denser growth.

### Potting & Planting Instructions for Emerald Green Bonsai 1. **Container Selection**: Choose a terracotta, ceramic, or nursery pot with generous drainage holes at the base. 2. **Soil Mix Recipe**: Use Aerated, rich potting mix with coco peat, perlite, and vermicompost (pH 6.2–6.8). Adding a layer of coarse gravel or leca at the bottom enhances oxygenation. 3. **Planting Depth**: Position the plant at the exact same root collar depth as in its nursery container. Avoid burying stems too deep. 4. **Initial Settling**: After potting, water thoroughly until water drains freely, then place in bright indirect light for 3–5 days to acclimatize before moving to full sun.

Harvest mature stems/leaves as needed using clean sterilized pruning shears.

Pairs wonderfully with drought-tolerant companion plants and complementary indoor plants varieties.
