About this plant
Ficus Bonsai 8 Shape suits indoor spots with full sun to part shade outdoors, very bright light indoors. Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it away from pets.
Stays in bright light, out of harsh afternoon sun, with a trunk trained into a figure-eight shape.
This tree is a Ficus microcarpa whose trunk has been trained in the nursery into a looping figure-eight shape, topped with layered pads of small, glossy green leaves. Ficus microcarpa, from tropical Asia, is a common choice for shaped trees because its trunk thickens well and it takes pruning easily.
It suits Dubai conditions. Outdoors it handles heat and full sun, and ficus is one of the most widely planted trees in the UAE. In a pot it dries quickly in summer, so afternoon shade and regular watering help. Indoors it needs a very bright spot near large windows to keep its leaves. Expect some leaf drop when moving it between indoor and outdoor light.
It works as a single feature at villa entrances, on terraces, in courtyards and in bright lobbies. We offer it at about 140 cm, a size that makes a clear statement.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Ficus Bonsai 8 Shape healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Full sun to part shade outdoors; very bright light indoors. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Outdoors daily to every 2 days in summer, 2–3 times a week in winter; indoors when the topsoil is dry. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: free-draining potting mix with grit, or well-draining garden soil. Feeding: balanced liquid or slow-release feed every 4–6 weeks from March to October. Common mistake: letting the crown grow shaggy, which hides the figure-eight trunk; trim regularly. Where it works: villa entrances, terraces, courtyards and bright lobbies.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (ficin and ficusin in the milky sap; can cause stomach upset and skin irritation).
