12-Year-Old Ficus Retusa Bonsai Complete Care Kit with Meaning Card
Ficus retusa – A Bonsai Symbolising Harmony, Peace, Wellbeing & Joy
Create a calm and balanced atmosphere in your home with this beautifully presented 12-year-old Ficus retusa bonsai complete care kit. Known for its sculptural trunk, glossy evergreen foliage, and naturally balanced canopy, the Ficus retusa is widely recognised as a bonsai symbolising harmony, peace, emotional wellbeing, and joyful living.
Carefully grown and shaped in our family-run nursery in Devon, each bonsai develops its own unique character over time. Its mature structure and calming presence make it a striking indoor bonsai, while its strong roots and enduring nature reflect stability, balance, and connection. As a result, this bonsai makes a thoughtful gift for wellbeing, mindfulness, relaxation, and peaceful living.
In addition, its adaptable and forgiving nature makes it suitable for beginners as well as experienced bonsai enthusiasts.
A Bonsai Tree Symbolising Harmony & Inner Peace
The Ficus retusa, often referred to as the Banyan Fig bonsai, has long been associated with harmony, grounding, peace, and emotional balance. Its calm appearance and steady growth symbolise stability through life’s changing seasons, while its evergreen foliage reflects renewal, positivity, and long-term wellbeing.
Because of this, many people choose the Ficus retusa as a bonsai symbolising harmony within the home, relationships, and everyday life. Its tranquil presence encourages mindfulness and creates a soothing focal point in any indoor environment.
Each bonsai includes a premium Bonsai Meanings card featuring the following sentiment:
Rooted in quiet stillness, the Ficus or Banyan Tree brings a sense of calm, balance, and gentle harmony into everyday life.
Its steady presence encourages wellbeing and inner peace, creating space for reflection, clarity, and emotional renewal.
As it grows with patience and strength, it symbolises joy found in simple moments, while offering comfort, grounding, and a lasting connection to nature.
In its calm and enduring beauty, it reminds us to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace a life filled with peace, contentment, and ease.
This beautifully designed meaning card adds emotional depth and symbolic significance, transforming the bonsai into a meaningful and lasting living gift.

Bonsai Variety
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).
