Providing your ginseng ficus bonsai with ample light is essential for its well-being. When grown indoors, positioning it on a sunny windowsill is an excellent choice. In cases where direct sunlight is limited, supplemental plant lights can assist in promoting healthy growth for your Ginseng Ficus Bonsai. During the summer, if you decide to move your bonsai outdoors, ensure it’s placed in a location that receives abundant sunlight, as these plants do not thrive in the shade and require plenty of natural light to flourish.
