Chinese New Year Plant | Cute Baby Beginner’s Indoor Ficus Bonsai – Easy Care

Celebrate the Lunar New Year with a cheerful Chinese New Year plant that is simple to care for and full of character. This cute baby Ficus retusa bonsai offers an excellent introduction to bonsai, therefore making it a reliable and thoughtful gift for beginners, busy households, or low-light interiors.

The Ficus belongs to the fig family and is widely recognised as one of the most forgiving indoor bonsai species. It adapts comfortably to a wide range of indoor positions and tolerates lower light levels that many other bonsai will not. As a result, it performs especially well in homes and offices where conditions are less than perfect.

An Easy-Care Chinese New Year Plant for Beginners

This well-established 7-year-old Ficus bonsai displays a neat broom-style structure with a full, rounded canopy of bright green, glossy leaves. Meanwhile, the bark develops attractive silvery striations, adding texture and maturity to this compact tree. Its balanced form gives instant appeal while remaining easy to maintain. Interestingly, the ficus tree is a member of the fig family.

Because of its resilience and steady growth, this Chinese New Year plant builds confidence and delivers long-term enjoyment without demanding attention.

Complete Gift Set with Festive Touch

The bonsai arrives planted in a deep navy blue ceramic pot, paired with a matching drip tray to protect surfaces. Included with the tree are bonsai pruning scissors and a bottle of bonsai fertiliser to support healthy growth. In addition, a cheerful miniature red Chinese lantern completes the presentation, adding a festive and traditional finishing touch.

Species	Fig (Ficus retusa) The fig has dark green glossy leaves and is unusual in that it will tolerate lower light levels. The fig makes a fantastic indoor bonsai and should be protected from the frost. It buds back very quickly after pruning and has an immense amount of character in the truck and aerial root system. A very powerful bonsai, fun and easy to care for. It is also less susceptible to pest attack. Protect from cold (min 10oC).
