Ficus Microcarpa (Banyan Fig) Indoor Bonsai Tree — XL

Ficus microcarpa is the species most bonsai nurseries recommend to someone who's killed a few houseplants already — it tolerates centrally-heated homes, inconsistent watering, and lower light far better than most "true" outdoor bonsai species pressed into indoor service. It will drop leaves if stressed by a sudden move or draught, but reliably recovers. An XL specimen like this gives you real trunk and branch structure to work with straight away rather than years of growing-on.
