Note.. Often these plants come in substrate that is sub-optimal for health. I find that if you have a green thumb, repotting in good substrate is often a good move to keep your plant healthy. But replacing substrate brings its own set of challenges and risks. Double-edged sword, really

Good to know. I think I will just let them grow a bit more to develop more roots. And l will read much more before I really start to repot them.Thanks!

Then show us your Ficus Ginseng from Ikea that you have turned into a beautiful bonsai.
Ficus ginseng from IKEA is not a mallsai, it is an ordinary house plant.
But, yes. That one Will be hard to make into bonsai, very hard.

responsible sellers keep their trees outside. See the red areas at bonsai dusseldorf, where I come frequently. That is their for sale area.
