# Hi everyone! I am a new home plant enthusiast and just starting out!…

_Posted by Jasmine on 2024-01-13_

Hi everyone! I am a new home plant enthusiast and just starting out! I bought this beautiful bonsai plant today and would love to know your best tips and tricks to care appropriately for this beauty. Any blog/youtube channels you recommend?  
To note: it is in a plastic pot with draining holes at the bottom. It is near a window that only receives indirect sunlight (very little now due to the rainy winter here!) and the soil appears to be an airy light mix of 🤷🏻‍♀️  
Thanks in advance for your recommendations and thankful to have discovered this cool community 😄

I don’t have any advice to give, but wanted to say that this is the first bonsai I’ve ever seen that made me think “maybe I should get one!” It is absolutely stunning!

Oh happy to have inspired you!☺️ i read that this kind of bonsai (ficus ginseng) is the easiest one to start with!!!
