Imported Cascade Tiger Bark Ficus Bonsai – Fast-Growing, Beginner-Friendly
If you want a bonsai that looks dramatic right out of the box, cascade is the move, and Tiger Bark Ficus is the species that makes it approachable. It’s vigorous, forgiving, and grows fast, so you can refine the silhouette quickly and enjoy real progress without the stress.
Think of this as a bonsai project - not a houseplant. You’re getting a head start with an imported cascade-style design, and then you get to take over: build → prune → refine → repeat.
