Taking Care of a Ginseng Ficus

Tanya Visser explains how to correctly care for your Ginseng Ficus

[@celestesmommy3231]

The smile she has as she dusting the plant is one felt in my soul

[@elizamainethebrave]

Her passion for gardening is palpable. I appreciate her wonderful and energetic spirit. She’s such a beautiful person! I adopted a ficus that’s at least 4 years old recently and was struggling to understand why it was so damaged and sad looking and I wanted to help. I’m so thankful for the knowledge and tips so I can help my plant feel better again. 🌱

[@PINKSTONES6]

You are as sweet and polite as she is, brava!

[@lllexorcistlll7631]

Were you able to revive the ficus

[@becoming_a_betty]

What an amazing knowledgeable, infectious host! I loved this video and Fred and the Fredlets :-) Thank you! xx

I bought one in Ikea, never really understood what "Don't water it too much and too often" means in numbers, but I water it with 0.3 liters of water every 7-10 days, depending on when I remember to do it. It's still alive and new leafs are growing, so it's a good sign :)

[@edgarwhelan3774]

I also got this at Ikea. Do you leave it outside or inside?

[@djijomurdjevic]

@@edgarwhelan3774 it's always inside, almost never in direct sunlight.

[@cassidy983]

Omg I just got one from ikea too!!! I didn’t even realize they had plants

[@djijomurdjevic]

Btw, you can expect dropping leaves in next couple of weeks.

[@reallifedood]

Thank you for the information. I got mine from IKEA as well. It has been shedding like crazy, when did that stop for you? Did you do something special to stop it?

[@faroshscale]

Absolutely obsessed with the way this woman talks. I could listen to her explain plant care for hours

[@malsearle]

I found out more in 5 minutes here than watching other bonsai channels for hours ! Love the straight to the point info .🌿🌿

[@johnboy5632]

I bought my ginseng bonsai tree just yesterday from Costco and this is the 1st video I clicked on for how to car for your gin. bonsai tree.. . . . . . and I HAVE TO SAY . . . . .I have never seen anyone talk about how to care for one of these trees with such Love, Care and Enjoyment. You can see it on her face, just like sooo many comments are saying as well. THIS is what you call TLC people. Lol This Woman LOVES what she does. With such care and Meticulous detail. I will Definitely take her words for it. She obviously KNOWS what she's doing. thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge on this beautiful Tree 🎋

[@catropractor]

I picked one up omw to the check out line at Aldi last week. I was charmed by how cute the bonsai was now I'm obsessed with taking care of it. Got a dog and got a bonsai. That's all I need ☺️

[@jasonlyle3818]

I've had a Ficus for around 4 years now and I just repotted it for the first time yesterday, I'm amazed it's lived so long in nothing but peat and rarely being watered. There have been multiple times where I've forgotten to water it for close to a month!

[@MohidPvE]

Awesome! Do you think the ficus will be fine with maintenance and regular watering, without plant feeding ? Because I may not be able to use the plant feed stuff

[@porterchops.1233]

@@MohidPvE Yes, the plant feeding is not something it needs to survive, but it helps :)

[@MohidPvE]

@@porterchops.1233 My ficus is growing nice and healthy! It looks stunning and it's a pleasure to maintain and prune it, if I can I'll definitely use some plant feeder but it's holding up great for now, thanks for the tip!

[@MohidPvE]

@@Eltexasdemon Water it depending on how dry the soil is, I water mine every week or two weeks

[@LyraLove1]

@@MohidPvE Could you tell me if the brown part of the plant grow and get taller or is it just the green leaves growing?

[@ikillprettythingz7947]

Bought one from Ikea over the weeke and I found this video because..i want to keep it ALIVE

[@Wave1dave]

I got a ginseng plant from IKEA for over a year now and neglected the care... Still alive, but the shape is meh

[@llrainll]

I noticed my mom got one of these! 😭 They’re so cute ! Hence why I’m taking it, and keeping it

[@ikillprettythingz7947]

@@Wave1dave my leaves all fell off, it's completely bald now 😭😫

[@ikillprettythingz7947]

@@llrainll haha great!! I would too! 😅😙

[@jasonlyle3818]

They're very easy to keep alive, just water it once a week. Even if you forget to water it for a couple weeks, it should be fine. I don't know why these things are so hardy.

[@EivinSukoi]

Extremely good advice , you got quite a specimen there , it’s just gorgeous. Thank you .

[@Iyana]

I just discovered this channel and Tanya has such wonderful energy. She made me smile throughout the entire video :)

[@misodinamosa]

I think I’ve had my two for at least 15 years! They’re still beautiful, they are wonderful plants!

[@videotimeitis]

Has it grown in size at all? Or given it is a bonsai, it stays the same for years?

[@dortheariser7545]

I really love the way she tells how to fix them and the little pebbles she adds at the end in a bowl , thank you

[@hmingi.pachuaupachuau9486]

You solved all my solution....i have one ficus don't know its name...but now i knew it's a ginseng ficus...thanks alot..love your channel...❤️

[@TomHallTV]

I got mine from Ikea early this year. It hated its first place I put it. I think it didn’t have enough light. All the leaves turned yellow and fell off. It was literally just twigs. I refused to give up so moved it to near a bright window with a few hours of sun in a morning and it’s growing all it’s leaves back now and thriving. Mines called Mandy (she looks like a Mandrake from Harry Potter haha) deffo going to try the pebble thing though thankyou.

[@MariaRivera-wg8zg]

good to know. I bought one from Ikea too and all the leaves have fallen. It's all twigs now. Do I put it in the sun? Is there hope the leaves will come back?
