Had him for years now. Despite being a terrible plant person, this baby has grown huge roots, huge leaves and has never disappointed me. 10/10

Doesn’t thrive in cold rooms (drafty etc) and not directly on a windowsill (sits on my dining table and thrives beautifully)!

This little guy has held up for 5 years through periods of neglect. Finally placing him in a sunny window to help him grow stronger!

I love this and it looks awesome. I’ve moved it to my desk and it inspires better work.

Temperamental! Looses leaves easy but mine also gives new ones easy too! Mine likes brighter light and closer to the south window than when I had it in the north window. I let mine dry out before watering. A cutting footing and gifted to me from a friend!

Super easy to care for. It’ll lose a few leaves long before it throws in the towel. The trunk responds to watering as well; it will start to look dry and shrunken if it’s gone too long without water. Great beginner plant in my opinion!

Have had my little ginseng for about a year and honestly I’m surprised he’s still alive lol. He’s tough and I’m excited for him to grow a bit more

In a perfect world, this would be 5 stars. However, I live with lots of other folks and this plant attracts small hands. Also, if you don't get the water and the light spot- on, it'll drop leaves. Check back next year after we've survived 2021.

Super hardy. Loves going outside in bright shade/dappled sun during the summer. Takes a long time to grow but it becomes a small tree in your space.

Very forgiving plant that grows quickly after pruning/shaping in the warmer months. A great entry-level bonsai.

I got this ficus from Costa Farms on Amazon and really dislike the potting setup. It has a layer of rocks glued to the pot. This plant har been a trooper for over a year but now showing signs of trouble. Time to repot!

Costa farms recommends placing the entire container in a bucket of water for a couple hours to loosen the rocks and allow for repotting. Wish me luck 🤞
