When growing flowers indoors, you don't necessarily have to grow golden edge hanging orchids, pothos, hawthorn orchids, or gentian orchids. There is also a kind of potted plant that is actually very beautiful. Its plant is very vigorous, the leaves are very lush, and the shape is quite good. It is the mini banyan potted plant, banyan bonsai, also known as ginseng banyan by some friends. Although the plant is not large and does not grow into a towering tree like the banyan planted on the ground, it is really beautiful. If well cared for, it is more pleasing to the eye than green hanging orchids. It is not only easy to grow and very sturdy but can also be kept for a long time. Moreover, it stays green all year round and is as durable as a bonsai. So how do you care for a small potted banyan at home?
How to grow a potted banyan? Pay attention to 2 points: many leaves, green and lush, and beautiful shape
1. Potted banyan trees need plenty of sunlight
Actually, it is a plant that loves sunlight very much. The small potted banyan and the large banyan planted on the ground have similar growth habits. If planted on the ground, they are exposed to the sun all day, with no problems at all, and even grow wilder, with very dense leaves and strong appearance, growing into a very large tree.
Therefore, the potted banyan trees we keep at home should be placed in a sunny location. If placed indoors, they must have sunlight, and also on the balcony. Keeping it well-lit every day, even in summer, will not be a problem after being kept for several years, and it is very easy to grow.
Since potted banyan trees are not cold-resistant, they should be moved indoors for care in winter. Otherwise, they can be kept outside. Even in the hot summer, they can be placed in the sun. Actually, they have a strong vitality and can grow well even in the corners of walls or brick crevices in some cities, growing lush and green.

2. Potted banyan trees can be pruned frequently
If there are many branches, you can tidy them up, cut off some branches yourself, and shape a nice appearance for it. Generally, three to four main branches can be left on a plant, with branches left about ten centimeters long, then topped to promote the growth of lateral buds. If you prefer a smaller plant shape, consider keeping the overall height below 40 centimeters. When the branches grow to the thickness of a little finger, you can then consider shaping a more beautiful and attractive appearance.
Actually, potted banyan trees are very strong. If you forget to water them for a long time and some leaves fall off, you can place them on the indoor balcony in a well-ventilated and shady place, water them thoroughly, and after letting them recover for a while, they will grow lush leaves again.
However, when keeping them indoors, do not water them too frequently, water them once every three to four days, and reduce watering when the temperature is low. In winter, it is better to keep them indoors and not let them freeze. In spring and autumn, provide some fertilizer to promote more vigorous and robust growth.
