This one-of-a-kind tree stands apart from the rest. What you see in the photos are what you get, and there will never be another one like it!
I’m Bindi the Wiandi Banyan, native to Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. I have curly branches that support a dense canopy. I represent the wild side of Banyan strength and energy, and can take shadier conditions than most other Banyan trees. I'm considered the beginner's bonsai for my relatively easy care and ability to tolerate a wide range of indoor conditions.
I have a main trunk that divides into many branches that support a dense canopy. With enough humidity, I’ll sport aerial roots that hang from my branches. I’m comfortable grown indoors, but also like nice days spent outside in the warmer months.
Keep me in temperatures between 55-80 ̊F. I like bright indirect light and get watered about once a week, or when my pot feels about 1/2 lighter. Monitor well and water more often in hot and dry environments alike. To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 5-10 minutes and let drain well.
Symbolism: I'm highly regarded in Southeast Asia where you'll find me near temples and sacred places because of my strong spiritual significance. After attaining enlightenment, Buddha was believed to have sat under a Banyan tree for seven days, absorbed in his new-found realization. In Feng Shui, the Banyan's Wood element feeds Fire in the productive cycle, symbolizing the chance of continuous growth and enhanced wealth or success. Generally, the Banyan encourages stability and steadfastness in Feng Shui.
