Ginny, a Ficus Ginseng or Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng, is characterised by her strong, chunky, exposed root system that looks more like the trunk of a tree! If you ask us, you've basically got a baby tree - talk about cute!
Native to Asia, Ginny's trunk, or aerial root system, can take years to grow - no really, we're talking 10+ years - but the older she gets, the more fascinating her shape will become!
Ginny, Ficus Ginseng
Ginny prefers bright indirect light to partial shade, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight wouldn’t go a miss.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
