Question
How to grow and care for a Ginseng Ficus as a houseplant. Also, potting medium or soil requirements.
Thank you.

Answer
care is similar for most tropical plants.
most are grown under shade cloths in FL or other tropical areas because they do not like direct sunlite-the foliage burns(they will tolerate morning sun-inside they do best there).  whenever the nitetime temps go below 45 you should bring them inside(even if only for the nite). if the day temps are above 50 you can leave them outside during the day.
water by weight. put a saucer under the pot. water and let the plant sit in the excess water for 5-10 minutes.  after that time pour off any excess water in the saucer.  pick up the pot.  it should feel heavy.  don't water again until it feels considerably lighter in weight.  outdoors check the plant everyday. indoors check it every 5-10 days.  watering frequency depends on many factors(sun exposure, wind, day temps, pot size, etc.).
good luck.
get to a local garden center/nursery to purchase a good indoor soiless potting mix like peters, miracle grow, jungle growth, etc.
