How To Grow Bonsai Ficus Religiosa Plant
Growing a bonsai tree from a Ficus religiosa, also known as the sacred fig or bodhi tree, requires patience, attention to detail, and proper care.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to grow a bonsai tree from a Ficus religiosa plant:
Acquire a young Ficus religiosa plant:
- Obtain a young Ficus religiosa plant either from a nursery or by germinating the seeds.
- The seeds can be found online or potentially from a local gardening store.
Select a suitable pot:
- Choose a shallow bonsai pot with drainage holes to ensure proper water drainage.
- Usually made of clay or ceramic, bonsai pots.
Prepare the potting mix:
- Create a well-draining soil mixture suitable for bonsai.
- A common mix includes a combination of akadama, pumice, and lava rock.
- You can find pre-made bonsai soil mixes at gardening stores.
Prune the roots and plant the Ficus religiosa:
- Gently remove the plant from its original container, and prune the roots by carefully cutting away about one-third of the root mass.
- This pruning encourages the growth of fine feeder roots.
- Place the tree in the prepared bonsai pot, spreading the roots out evenly.
- Fill the pot with the bonsai soil mix, ensuring that it covers the roots and gently firm it down.
Shape the trunk and branches:
- Begin shaping your bonsai tree by wiring the trunk and primary branches.
- Use bonsai wire to carefully wrap around the branches, bending them into the desired shape.
- Be cautious not to wrap the wire too tightly to avoid damaging the tree.
- Leave the wire on for a few months or until the branches are set in place.
Watering and humidity:
- Ficus religiosa prefers a consistent watering routine.
- Thoroughly water the bonsai, making sure the soil is evenly moist but not soggy.
- Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly before the next watering.
- Mist the leaves regularly to increase humidity, as Ficus species generally appreciate higher humidity levels.
Light and temperature:
- Place the bonsai tree in a location that receives bright, indirect light.
- Ficus religiosa thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C).
- Keep it away from sharp temperature changes and chilly draughts.
Fertilization:
- Feed your Ficus religiosa bonsai during the growing season, typically from spring to fall.
- Use a balanced, water-soluble bonsai fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength.
- Apply the fertilizer as directed on the packaging every two to four weeks.
Pruning and maintenance:
- Regularly prune the bonsai to maintain its shape and promote branching.
- Trim back new growth to maintain the desired silhouette.
- Ficus religiosa has a vigorous growth habit, so frequent pruning will be necessary to refine the tree's appearance.
Repotting:
- Repot the bonsai tree every two to three years to refresh the soil and encourage root health.
- Repotting is best done in spring before the growing season begins.
- Prune the roots and replant them in a slightly larger bonsai pot, using fresh bonsai soil.
Remember, growing a bonsai tree is a long-term project that requires ongoing care, patience, and attention. Regularly observe your Ficus religiosa bonsai for signs of pests, diseases, or other issues and address them promptly. With time and proper care, you can enjoy the beauty and serenity of your bonsai tree.

Not really good as a lip balm
It is way too melty or liquidy when applying. It's like putting oil on your lips. No staying power. I actually ended using it more as a skin moisturizer like a lotion. It's pretty good for that. I haven't even tried taking it with me in my pocket as I think it'll turn to a liquid like coconut oil down here in sunny hot Florida. .

In most of all circumstances, this works
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
For Summer time and when playing and working in the sun, this is my go to sunscreen! I love how it is more natural than all the other ones out there. I have been sort of a spray on sunscreen connoisseur and this is the one that is my favorite. Also, if I have gotten a burn and put this on it, I believe it helps start the healing process on the burn I got. This is at least what I experienced multiple times last year.
The only circumstance that this sunscreen fails miserably is in the Caribbean. I recently went on a cruise to that region and applied this sunscreen and it became evident that this and the other brands of spray on sunscreen do not work in Caribbean sun. The only sunscreen that works is the lotion based stuff that you rub into your skin. I have also consulted with friends on spray on sunscreen in the Caribbean and they all fail as well.
So, this is why I say that it works in almost every circumstance.

spray nozzle needs work.
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I purchased 3 of these cans. Only one of them worked and that one was ok. Sprayed well, smelled good and and protected my skin and even though it was hard to press it to work, we WERE able to use it, but the other three .............? They would not rotate to the unlock position, therefore they would not spray. My husband and I tried everything to get it to rotate. It seems both the top and bottom ring spin around effectively doing nothing. So to pay almost $40 for only one can to work is definitley not worth the money. Buy somewhere else.

Great product! Highly recommend! Worth the money
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Our family absolutely loves Alba sunscreen! It’s light, not super greasy, and smells really good. Everytime I see it on sale, I buy more of it! My husband is a red head, and he has to wear sunscreen all the time, and he prefers Alba brand over any others. Great Product!

Like the sunscree - not the spray can
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Sunscreen itself did a great job with our snorkeling and scuba diving. Long lasting and didn't rub off in spots where masks and other things can leave spots unprotected. However, the spray can itself was difficult. Even when being sure it was completely in the unlocked position, it would take me two thumbs at full pressure to get it started spraying at times. Definitely, only a couple of us in the party were the appliers as we could get it started.
