Ficus ginseng

Hello, I am new here and I bought ficus ginseng for week ago. I keep ficus outdoor and get sun 2 hours everyday. Can someone advice me what I should do? Thanks

Nice ficus. I have a [url=https://s956.photobucket.com/albums/ae50/marsman61/Bonsai/Double%20Ficus/?action=view&current=10fd1009.pbw]couple of them[/url] and they are quite hardy. Just don't over water it. It can handle full sunlight and that will keep the leaves smaller. Less light, the the leaves can get very large. Keep the leaves in check by keeping the limbs cut back. That will force the branched to send out new shoots and increase ramification.

My only advice is never EVER let the soil dry out completely. Other than this, care is relatively easy, as it can be grown indoors under the most adverse conditions.
