Imported Cascade Tiger Bark Ficus Bonsai – Low Profile “Shelf Cascade”
This is the low-and-wide version of cascade, the kind that looks incredible on a shelf, coffee table, or bonsai stand. The canopy line stretches outward with a clean cascade flow, giving you instant movement without taking up vertical space.
Tiger Bark Ficus is a favorite because it’s vigorous, forgiving, and fast-growing. That means you can enjoy it now and keep leveling it up: let it grow → prune back → refine the silhouette → repeat.

Quick Care (Simple + Effective)

- Temperature: Tropical—protect from cold drafts and low temps.
- Pruning: Let it push growth, then prune back to maintain the low cascade silhouette and build density.
