Sorry, this is a bonsai forum, not a forum for house plants.

Thanks for telling me it was sold as a bonsai tree

You know my mom used to tell me I was beautiful... guess what, I am not

It's a ficus, but it is not a bonsai.
Never mind the label, they have to sell those trees!

Plant it in proper bonsai soil (akadama) and beware it needs high humidity. That doesn't necessarily mean the soil has to be drenched all the time.
That ginseng will not make a good bonsai but it's a good and inexpensive plant to start learning how to keep them alive.
Good luck!
