Default [IBC] GingSeng Ficus

Hung Le,
I know very little about the Ginseng ficus except what I have seen on the
internet. It looks to me like a Ficus microcarpa variety. Its main feature
are the thick roots that can be potted up high to expose them, almost like a
part of the trunk. Many shapes occur by nature and you can always find one
that looks like something.
I would think that their care would be standard for any ficus.

Hi All,
I was searching for ficus retusa (kingman/tigerbark) and also end up with a
ficus gingseng. In Asia when i was a kid, had seen many of these with
exposed roots in many interesting forms (some appeared as a mother holding
on to her baby, a deer in sitting position and many others.
I like to hear from someone with experience or know the sources to learn
more on gingseng ficus.Thank you in advance
