This is a relatively easy-care plant, making it a good choice for beginners interested in growing bonsai. As a fig tree, it produces small, fig-like fruits that change from green to red and then black as they ripen.
Lighting: Prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a south- or west-facing window is ideal. Avoid low-light areas, but also protect it from scorching direct sun, especially during the hottest parts of the day.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top couple of inches of soil feel dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Good drainage is essential, so do not let the pot sit in standing water.
