Golden Gate Ficus Bonsai Starter Set with Tinyroots Starter Kit and Humidity Tray
The easiest way to start with bonsai.
Golden Gate Ficus is the tree most growers recommend first. Our nursery partner hand-wires each one for years to build its swirling S-curve trunk, and the pale, speckled bark looks great against the glossy dark green leaves.
This tree is about 4 years old and 5-8" tall. It grows happily indoors, forgives the odd missed watering, and bounces back quickly after a trim, so you can learn as you go.
What's in the Set
- The tree: Golden Gate Ficus, about 4 years old and 5-8" tall, in a ceramic bonsai pot
- Tinyroots Bonsai Starter Kit: red-handled bonsai shears, Uncle Bill's Bonsai Brew liquid fertilizer, Bonsai Frit trace minerals, training wire, a ceramic pagoda figurine, and our Survival Guide for the First-Time Bonsai Owner, all in a bamboo storage box

Everything arrives together in one box, so your new bonsai is ready to care for from day one.

Care Notes
Keep it in the brightest spot you have, like a south or west window. Water thoroughly when the top of the soil starts to feel dry, and never let it sit in standing water. It can spend summer outside in bright shade once nights stay above 55°F. Bring it in before temperatures drop below 50°F. The humidity tray helps a lot in dry winter homes.
Please Note
This tree is sold online only and is not individually photographed. The photo shows a representative tree. Yours will vary naturally in shape, branching, and pot color or style, so every tree is one of a kind. Questions about care or placement? Just reach out. We're happy to help.
We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
