We love the sculptural beauty of the Ficus retusa, also known as the Indian Laurel Fig or Banyan Fig. With its glossy dark green leaves and striking aerial roots, it’s one of the most elegant indoor bonsai trees you can grow. Compact, hardy, and easy to shape, it’s perfect for beginners wanting to try bonsai, while still offering all the character of a mature indoor tree.

Buying it as a gift? We’ll include a free handwritten card — just add your message at checkout. We’ll wrap it with care and leave out the paperwork or price tags, creating a lovely surprise for the recipient.

Native habitat and growth pattern
Ficus retusa is native to Southeast Asia, where it grows as a tropical tree in warm, humid environments. In the wild, it develops large aerial roots that grow down into the soil, creating the classic banyan tree form. Indoors, it adapts beautifully as a container plant or bonsai, with dense foliage and roots that can be trained into dramatic shapes.

Size
W9cm x H20cm or W12cm x H30cm. Supplied in a plastic nursery pot.

Styling tips

  • A perfect bonsai-style tree for desks, shelves, or hallways

  • Its aerial roots and dense foliage give it a unique architectural quality

  • Complements minimalist, Zen-inspired, or tropical interiors

  • Makes an unusual and elegant living gift

Ficus retusa care guide

Light requirements:
Tolerates lower light than many bonsai, but prefers bright, indirect light. A north- or west-facing window is ideal.

Watering:
Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer to dry a little between waterings.

Feeding:
Feed once a month in spring and summer. We recommend our vegan, organic Original Plant Food for strong, healthy growth.

Humidity:
Average household humidity is fine, but occasional misting helps in drier rooms.

Pet safety:
Toxic if ingested — keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Propagation:
Can be propagated from cuttings, though it is slow to establish.

Why choose this plant?

The Ficus retusa is one of the most rewarding bonsai trees for indoor growing. Unlike many bonsai that demand constant attention, this fig is hardy and forgiving, making it the ideal introduction to bonsai for beginners. Its thick aerial roots, compact size, and glossy foliage create a striking, sculptural look that adds elegance and tranquillity to any space.

It’s also incredibly versatile. Whether you want a miniature tree for a desk, a living feature for a shelf, or a bonsai to train and shape over time, the Ficus retusa adapts beautifully. Its resilience and low-maintenance care requirements mean it’s a great choice for busy homes, while still offering the unique presence of a true bonsai.

As a gift, it’s perfect for anyone who loves unusual plants, design-led interiors, or the calming art of bonsai. With its graceful form and rainforest feel, it makes a stylish and thoughtful living present.

FAQs

Is Ficus retusa a good bonsai for beginners?
Yes — it’s one of the easiest bonsai trees to grow indoors and is much more forgiving than most bonsai species.

How big will it get indoors?
Kept as a bonsai, it usually reaches 20–40cm tall. With age and space, it can grow larger if allowed.

Why are the leaves on my Ficus retusa turning yellow?
This is usually due to overwatering or low light. Allow the soil to dry slightly and move to brighter indirect light.

Can Ficus retusa live in low light?
It will tolerate lower light conditions, but growth is stronger and leaves glossier in bright, indirect light.

Do I need to prune my bonsai regularly?
Yes — pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages denser foliage.

Awesome Book!!
Format: Kindle
I was a little skeptical about reading this book due to previous encounters with the Holy Spirit concerning Tim Ross. However, I believe GOD has given me clearance to read this book, and because of this book or shall I say the GOD given words in this book, Welcome to the Basement has been a comprised or a condensed yet straight to the point version of another book I was in the process of reading. It took the leg work out and made it into a simple and clear insight on how to practice the way of Jesus based on the life of Jesus and how to invite others to the table to eat with Jesus. I truly enjoyed this book and can't wait to slowly start back getting down into the basement. Thank You GOD and thank you, Tim Ross, for this book. It was a goldmine!! Peace, love, blessings, Erika.

You go up by going down…Welcome To The Basement!
Format: Hardcover
Tim Ross has taken the concept of The Basement and splashed them in black and white on the pages of this book! WTTB is a not only a guide but quite literally a masterclass on how to love the way Jesus loves. As a follower of Jesus for some time, I am impressed by Tim’s fresh perspectives, vivid writing style and conversational approach to this work. Welcome To The Basement simply feels like Tim on an extended episode of The Basement podcast. This page-turner of a book is a must read for all people who want to experience a radical approach to doing ministry in a postmodern world among people who question the validity of scripture and the relevance of Jesus and His Church. Become a “Basement dweller”!

Press B!
Format: Hardcover
"Welcome to the Basement" by Tim Ross is an incredible guide to achieving true greatness through humility and service. Having known Ross as a great mentor to a dear friend, I was eager to dive into this book. The principles he share are both radical and deeply needed in our world today. This fully revised edition of his previous work, "Upset the World," is timely and relevant, addressing today's unique challenges. Ross's personal insights and practical guidance make this book a must-read for anyone looking to have a deeper connection to God. The audiobook, read by Ross himself, adds an extra layer of connection and authenticity.

Yes, you should read this book!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book is a fantastic read. It's as if you're having a casual conversation with Tim Ross about faith and it goes by so quickly. This book is for you if you're struggling to understand to have a healthy relationship with God, found yourself in a rut of just doing religious practices, if you're struggling with fully submitting to God, or if you're unsure of if you're being impactful when you witness to others. I'd say you can even read this book as if it's a devotional because there are great reflection questions and notes at the end of each chapter. Slow down, really take in the words, pray, and reflect to get the most of out of this book!
