Ficus Bonsai soil and potting mix
Start with a well-draining indoor potting mix and tune it based on the plant's moisture target, container size, and drainage holes.
- Moisture target
- 35-60% moisture target
- pH range
- 5.8-6.8 pH
- Container note
- One plant per indoor container sized to root ball
- Root check
- Repot or root check window, around day 365
- Use a pot with drainage whenever possible.
- Refresh compacted mix when water sits on the surface too long.
- Check roots when growth stalls even though light and water are steady.
