For no fuss or mess you can place the plant in its growing pot (the pot it arrives in) inside a decorative one. This allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in a rounded pot.

Nursery Pot Diameter	Minimum Decorative Pot Opening Required
⌀17cm	18-19cm
⌀20cm	21-22cm
⌀25cm	25-26cm
⌀28cm	29-30cm
⌀33cm	34-35cm
⌀35cm	37-39cm
⌀40cm	41-42cm
⌀45cm	46-47cm
⌀50cm	51-52cm
⌀55cm	56-57cm
⌀60cm	61-62cm

For a seamless finish where the plant is potted into the decorative pot, liners are available to prevent water leaking and the pot from damage.

We also offer a potting service.

Ficus Microcarpa Nitida Tree

Ginseng Bonsai

Part of the fig family - most commonly known as Indian Laurel - this form has dense leaf formation making it perfect for indoor topiary, as it is very happy to be clipped.

It is also air purifying and relatively easy going once it has become used to its new home.

Need to know

This ficus, like most others is happiest situated in indirect bright light. It is happy in most rooms, with a minimum night-time temperature of 15°C. If it is in too shaded a spot it could cause leaves to drop.

Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out between waterings and do not allow to sit in water as this will cause root rot. Apply a general purpose houseplant feed only in the growing months in small doses to avoid root burn. Reduce watering in winter.
