Bring a touch of tranquil elegance to any space with the Willow Leaf Ficus (Ficus salicaria). Native to South America, this graceful variety is prized for its slender, willow-like leaves and aerial roots, making it a great choice for both large and small bonsai. A resilient tropical species, it thrives indoors in bright, indirect light and consistently moist (not soggy) soil.
One-of-a-kind tree: the bonsai pictured is the exact tree you will receive, professionally styled by the Bonsai Bar team and planted in a 6" square Willow pot.

Shipping & Arrival
To ensure safe delivery, we prefer to ship trees between Monday and Wednesday at the latest, so your bonsai is never caught in an accidental weekend delay. Some leaf drop during shipment is completely normal. If leaves drop in transit, place your tree in a very sunny spot and water only once the topsoil has dried out — take care not to overwater while the tree has few or no leaves.
