We love the sculptural beauty of the Ficus retusa, also known as the Indian Laurel Fig or Banyan Fig. With its glossy dark green leaves and striking aerial roots, it’s one of the most elegant indoor bonsai trees you can grow.

Native habitat and growth pattern
Ficus retusa is native to Southeast Asia, where it grows as a tropical tree in warm, humid environments. In the wild, it develops large aerial roots that grow down into the soil, creating the classic banyan tree form. Indoors, it adapts beautifully as a container plant or bonsai, with dense foliage and roots that can be trained into dramatic shapes.

Size
W9cm x H20cm or W12cm x H30cm. Supplied in a plastic nursery pot.

Styling tips

  • A perfect bonsai-style tree for desks, shelves, or hallways

  • Its aerial roots and dense foliage give it a unique architectural quality

  • Complements minimalist, Zen-inspired, or tropical interiors

  • Makes an unusual and elegant living gift

Ficus retusa care guide

Light requirements:
Tolerates lower light than many bonsai, but prefers bright, indirect light. A north- or west-facing window is ideal.

Watering:
Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer to dry a little between waterings.

Feeding:
Feed once a month in spring and summer. We recommend our vegan, organic Original Plant Food for strong, healthy growth.

Humidity:
Average household humidity is fine, but occasional misting helps in drier rooms.

Pet safety:
Toxic if ingested — keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Propagation:
Can be propagated from cuttings, though it is slow to establish.

Why choose this plant?

The Ficus retusa is one of the most rewarding bonsai trees for indoor growing. Unlike many bonsai that demand constant attention, this fig is hardy and forgiving, making it the ideal introduction to bonsai for beginners. Its thick aerial roots, compact size, and glossy foliage create a striking, sculptural look that adds elegance and tranquillity to any space.

It’s also incredibly versatile. Whether you want a miniature tree for a desk, a living feature for a shelf, or a bonsai to train and shape over time, the Ficus retusa adapts beautifully. Its resilience and low-maintenance care requirements mean it’s a great choice for busy homes, while still offering the unique presence of a true bonsai.

As a gift, it’s perfect for anyone who loves unusual plants, design-led interiors, or the calming art of bonsai. With its graceful form and rainforest feel, it makes a stylish and thoughtful living present.

FAQs

Is Ficus retusa a good bonsai for beginners?
Yes — it’s one of the easiest bonsai trees to grow indoors and is much more forgiving than most bonsai species.

How big will it get indoors?
Kept as a bonsai, it usually reaches 20–40cm tall. With age and space, it can grow larger if allowed.

Why are the leaves on my Ficus retusa turning yellow?
This is usually due to overwatering or low light. Allow the soil to dry slightly and move to brighter indirect light.

Can Ficus retusa live in low light?
It will tolerate lower light conditions, but growth is stronger and leaves glossier in bright, indirect light.

Do I need to prune my bonsai regularly?
Yes — pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages denser foliage.

Inexpensive part and YouTube knowledge lead to quick fix
Size: 96158T-1PCS
Solenoid went out on boat. After viewing multiple videos on YouTube I figured that my solenoid was bad. Ordered this and received a day later. Replaced the other one and this worked perfectly.

Worked perfectly!
Size: 96158T-1PCS
Have an older Mercury 40hp 2 stroke. This Solenoid worked perfectly. It is not that easy to install, due to the design of the engine. It does require a bit of patient and the right tools to do it. If you have big hands and don't do this type of repair to often, call a friend that is better than you to get some help :) I have an older engine but it runs like charm. I will order an extra Solenoid and place in the box of "important spare parts" for the future. Very good experience for the purchase and overall quality of the part.

Perfect fit and works great
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Perfect fit and works great. It is great that it comes as a 2pk. I replaced both with no need to change wiring, and kept the working one I had, as backup.

It works as it should...
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Used it in a pinch for stater relay... it works great. Be aware... Mine required metric sockets for the nuts... 10mm for large terminals - 3/8 was too tight and same for smaller terminals 7mm fit better than 5/16 that was too loose. The mounting holes are also spaced closer together than the OEM on a mercruiser 260 in a mid 1980's boat but easy to remedy with a 1/4" drill bit.

Fixed 4.3 Merc IO

Engine wouldn't start reliably or consistently. I had no clicking either from the old solenoid even though it would start from time to time...motor starts perfect after install. Pretty easy install as long as you reconnect the right wires. This worked perfect!
