Ficus microcarpa var. retusa, commonly known as Retusa Fig, Banyan Fig, or Indian Laurel Fig, is one of the most popular species for bonsai cultivation. Native to Southeast Asia, this tropical evergreen belongs to the Moraceae family and is especially admired for its smooth, grey bark and distinctive trunk shapes.

The Retusa variety is characterised by its thick, bulbous roots and S-shaped trunk, often displayed prominently in bonsai training. Its glossy, oval leaves are small and neat, making them easy to miniaturise and perfectly suited to bonsai aesthetics. Over time, aerial roots may also form, adding character and a natural banyan-tree effect.

As a bonsai, Ficus retusa is highly adaptable, forgiving of minor care mistakes, and easy to style into a variety of traditional forms such as informal upright, root-over-rock, or banyan style. With proper care, it creates a living sculpture that can last for decades.


Ficus microcarpa ‘Retusa’ Bonsai – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Outdoors in summer, it enjoys dappled sunlight, but protect from harsh midday rays. Indoors, place near a bright south- or west-facing window.

Watering

Water thoroughly when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry. Ensure free drainage and never allow the plant to sit in standing water. More frequent watering is needed in summer, while in winter it requires less but should not dry out completely.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–28°C. It is a tropical species and should not be exposed to temperatures below 12–15°C.

  • Humidity: Benefits from moderate to high humidity. Misting occasionally or placing near a humidity tray helps in centrally heated rooms.

Soil and Potting

Use a free-draining bonsai soil mix, ideally akadama with added pumice and lava rock. Repot every 2–3 years in spring to refresh the soil and prune roots.

Feeding

Feed every 2–3 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced bonsai fertiliser. Reduce to monthly in autumn and stop in winter.

Pruning and Training

  • Pruning: Regularly pinch back new shoots to maintain a compact shape. Larger branches can be pruned in spring.

  • Wiring: Responds well to wiring and shaping, but monitor closely as wires can mark the smooth bark quickly.

  • Defoliation: Partial defoliation in summer encourages smaller leaves and denser branching.

Growth and Maturity

A vigorous grower, allowing rapid refinement and shaping. Over time, it develops a characterful trunk and attractive aerial roots.

Common Issues

  • Leaf drop: Often stress-related, caused by overwatering, sudden moves, or temperature changes.

  • Yellow leaves: Usually from too much water.

  • Pests: May attract scale, mealybugs, or spider mites indoors.

Background and Benefits

The Retusa Fig is one of the most popular bonsai species worldwide thanks to its resilience, beauty, and versatility. It symbolises strength, wisdom, and longevity in many cultures. Unlike outdoor bonsai like maples, Ficus retusa can be grown year-round indoors, making it perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike.

Amazing. Ordering more
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 4)
These are amazing and the price is crazy. I'm buying a few more sets. The color is white/white, which I love. They are so soft, not flimsy at all. A great value. Well made, the seams are well sown and the envelope casing even ups the look

Soft, Luxurious & Perfect for Hair and Skin!
Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 11 - Light Turquoise, Number of Items: 2, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 11 - Light Turquoise, Number of Items: 2
These satin pillowcases are honestly amazing. The material feels super soft, smooth, and cooling on the skin, and they make my bed look so elegant and luxurious. I bought them mainly to help protect my hair from frizz and dryness, They’re also very comfortable to sleep on and don’t feel cheap at all. The color is beautiful in person, exactly like the photos on Amazon. I washed them already and they still kept their softness and shine. Definitely worth the purchase for the price I would 100% buy again and recommend to anyone looking for cute, comfortable satin pillowcases.”

Budget friendly satin pillowcase
Size: Standard (20" X 26"), Color: 18 - Lavender, Number of Items: 2
This satin pillowcase is a great budget-friendly option! While it’s not quite as luxurious as my Blissy pillowcase, it still does a really nice job—especially for the price. It has that smooth, silky feel that helps reduce hair frizz and feels gentle on the skin. It’s also easy to wash and holds up well, which is perfect for everyday use. I especially love using these for the kids—they get the benefits of a softer pillowcase without worrying about ruining a more expensive one. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable alternative that still feels nice and does the job. Great value and perfect for families!

Super soft and durable, but keep your steamer handy!
Size: King (20" X 36"), Color: 01 - Silver Grey, Number of Items: 2, Size: King (20" X 36"), Color: 01 - Silver Grey, Number of Items: 2
I’m really impressed with these grey satin pillowcases! First off, the packaging was adorable, making them feel like a little treat to unbox. The texture is incredibly soft and feels great against my skin. In terms of maintenance, they’ve held up perfectly through the wash. I followed the instructions (machine wash on gentle cycle and tumble dry on low/fluff), and they came out looking as good as new. The only real downside is the wrinkling. Even when I remove them from the dryer promptly, they tend to wrinkle pretty badly (see attached photo). If you don't mind a quick steam or a few creases, these are a good value!

Fantastic satin pillow cases for the price
Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 02 - Pure White, Number of Items: 2
Edit: I already put five stars in the first place, but I was unfair to these pillow cases in my initial review! I thought they were a little warmer than the natural silk, because I was sleeping on them with acrylic pyjamas on. I have come to realise the pillow cases are not warm. They are truly excellent in every way. I just get sweaty every time I wear acrylic pyjamas! I have already ordered two more sets of these (and have switched to micrfibre pyjamas)! Original review: First off, I want to address a popular misconception. Satin is a weave, not a fibre. So polyester satin is real satin, and it is very common. To all the people saying the makers lied about the fabric, they absolutely did not! I bought these and I bought some inexpensive silk ones at the same time. I have been loving the silk ones and only started using these lately. I'm happy with all of them. These are not silk, and I can feel the difference, but they are a nice, smooth polyester satin. The white colour is indeed a pure white. I machine washed mine and hung them to dry. They did not wrinkle, pick or pill, and they did not change in colour or size. They look fresh and pristine. I measured my pillows and got the right size. They are pretty and neat, they seem to be well sewn and well finished, with no hanging threads. They are very soft to sleep on and did not make my dry, curly hair frizz up. I slept on them without my protective bonnet, so I got the full experience! Honestly, with the smooth, tight weave of the fabric, they may be superior to the real silk in terms of babying my skin and hair. However, they are a little bit warmer. That is fine for now, since the weather is cool. I might just use these while it is cool out and switch to silk in summer, or I might continue to alternate, we will see. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would buy them again.
