Carmona Bonsai – Fukien Tea Bonsai (Carmona microphylla)

The Carmona Bonsai – Fukien Tea Tree (Carmona microphylla) is a highly sought-after indoor bonsai. Admired for its elegance and artistic appeal. Often referred to as the Oriental Fukien Tea Tree. This species is best known for its dainty white flowers that appear during the summer months, contrasting beautifully with its glossy, waxy green leaves.

The foliage itself is distinctive—small, neatly clustered, and well-proportioned. Thus, allowing both the delicate blossoms and the natural branch structure to shine through. Easy to care for in a warm position indoors, the Carmona Bonsai thrives in stable conditions. It rewards growers with year-round beauty, making it a wonderful choice for both home and office settings.

Symbolically, the Fukien Tea Bonsai represents courage, heart, love, and devotion, giving it a deeper meaning beyond its visual charm. With its pretty flowers and rich symbolism, this bonsai makes a truly special gift for loved ones and a heartfelt reminder of strength and connection.
