Advent Offer 19: Impressive Ficus Bonsai with Supreme Aerial Roots in Royal Blue Ceramic Pot
Standing 42cm tall, this powerful and impressive Ficus bonsai delivers real presence and mature character. The trunk grows thick and muscular, reaching almost 5cm across in places. It rises with natural authority and displays superb taper with striking silvery striations. Moreover, the aerial roots add remarkable drama. They cascade confidently around the trunk and anchor the composition with sculptural energy. As a result, this tree immediately commands attention.
Potted into a brand-new royal blue ceramic pot with a matching drip tray, the bonsai feels bold, elegant and beautifully balanced. The deep glaze enriches the bark tones and intensifies the glossy foliage. Consequently, the entire display offers a rich, contemporary aesthetic. Previously £250, this premium tree is now £185 for Advent Offer 19. A festive robin “Merry Christmas” wooden tag hangs from the branches to complete the seasonal styling.
This is the exact 17-year-old Ficus retusa bonsai you will receive.
Trunk, Roots & Design
The trunk stands out as the defining feature of this bonsai. It grows thick, powerful and full of expressive texture. Silvery striations highlight the bark and enhance its aged appearance. Furthermore, the supreme aerial roots contribute a striking sculptural quality. They flow around the trunk with natural rhythm, creating depth and a strong sense of maturity. Meanwhile, the branches extend with balance and form a broad, vibrant canopy above.
Foliage & Year-Round Interest
The foliage remains glossy, evergreen and full of vitality. New growth appears bright and fresh, adding continuous movement to the composition. Because the Ficus grows steadily indoors, it responds well to shaping and offers attractive interest throughout every season.
Ceramic Pot
The royal blue ceramic pot pairs beautifully with the strength of the tree. Its deep glaze adds richness and contrast, while the matching tray completes the arrangement with a refined finish. Moreover, the colour complements the bark tones and the aerial roots, creating a visually striking display.
Species Overview
Ficus retusa originates from warm Asian regions and thrives in bright indoor environments. It enjoys steady temperatures and adapts easily to normal household conditions. The species is celebrated for its thick trunks, aerial roots and glossy evergreen leaves. Symbolically, the Ficus represents harmony, wisdom and grounded strength — qualities perfectly reflected in this impressive bonsai.
Place your Ficus in a bright room away from cold draughts. Water when the soil begins to dry, maintaining consistent moisture. Apply bonsai fertiliser weekly during the growing season to support new growth and healthy aerial roots.
