"Ficus retusa", also known as "Ficus microcarpa var. nitida", Banyan Fig, Taiwan Ficus, Ginseng Ficus, or Indian Laurel Fig, is a species of evergreen woody plant in the fig genus, native to Malaysia, Taiwan, and other Southeast and East Asian countries. The tree has small, dark green leaves which alternate up the stem and which are oval. It has a gray to reddish bark dotted with small, horizontal flecks. It is considered one of the easiest trees to keep as a Bonsai. If you mist it, it will thrive because it is like its natural home in the rainforest.
