Ficus Bonsai, commonly known as the Weeping Fig or Ficus Tree is a favorite amongst plant parents. Belonging to the family of mulberry plants, it is the most popular indoor tree species for beginners trying their hand at Bonsai. Its magnificent trunks can be a great conversation starter, so can its downward pointing leaves. Symbolizing good luck and prosperity, this plant can be a great gift for new homeowners as well. Plant them in wide planters, to help the roots breathe and grow better, and keep the watering less frequent.
