Tips:
Let it dry between waterings. Stick your finger into the soil to determine when to water next. You could soak the bonsai in the sink with the water up over the roots for 10 minutes and then let the water drain out.
Use organic fertilizers and locate the bonsai wherever every you like. It can tolerate a large variation in lighting conditions.
Use a humidity tray with rocks to ensure adequate humidity.
Always keep the Ficus indoors during the winter. And be sure it is in a well lighted area during this season.
Repot every two years. Do the repotting during the spring and make sure that it has ample water to encourage new root growth. During the first few weeks after repotting keep it in a shady area for recovery.
