Germination of

Ficus infectoria

White Fig Bonsai Tree: Ficus Bonsai, Weeping Fig, Benjamina Bonsai

Ficus infectoria

To germinate Ficus infectoria, start by soaking the seeds in lukewarm water for 24-48 hours. Fill a seed tray with a well-draining potting mix, then scatter the seeds on top of the mix and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Place the tray in a bright and warm location, and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. The seeds should start to germinate within 2-4 weeks.

Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions. 

Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here.  Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only.  Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.

 

It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
