  • Light/Soil/Water
  • Hardiness
  • The Bonsai Juniper, labeled here as Ficus microcarpa compacta and commonly known as Chinese Banyan, is a compact, evergreen bonsai tree admired for its timeless beauty and adaptability. Traditionally associated with juniper bonsai styles, this plant represents the art of cultivating miniature trees that mimic full-sized conifers in nature.

    Originating from Asia, particularly regions of China and Southeast Asia, this bonsai form has become a global favorite among beginners and experienced growers alike. While true junipers are conifers, this compact ficus variety is often styled similarly, offering a lush, dense canopy and a refined trunk structure.

    One of its standout features is its foliage. The plant showcases fine, dense leaves that can resemble the needle-like or scale-like appearance of junipers. Its coloration ranges from deep green to lighter tones, sometimes reflecting subtle silvery or golden hues depending on lighting and care. This gives the bonsai a dynamic, living sculpture quality throughout the year.


  • Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon rays.

    Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between watering.

    Well-draining bonsai soil mix is essential to prevent root rot and ensure proper aeration.

    Thrives in temperatures between 18°C–28°C (65°F–82°F). Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

    Moderate growth rate, making it manageable for shaping and pruning.


  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 9–11 if grown outdoors; commonly kept indoors in other climates.
