When choosing the perfect bonsai tree, it’s essential to recognise that different bonsai species have unique requirements. Some varieties are best suited to life indoors. They thrive in warm, stable conditions and adding greenery to homes and offices throughout the year.
Popular indoor bonsai species include the Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia), Sageretia (Sweet Plum), Carmona (Fukien Tea), Ficus, Zanthoxylum (Pepper Tree), Syzygium (Myrtle), Serissa (Snowrose), Jade (Money Tree), and Ligustrum (Privet). These are all evergreen choices that offer year-round interest and are ideal for beginners.
Outdoor bonsai species, on the other hand, depend on the natural rhythm of the seasons to flourish. Varieties such as Cherry Blossom, Juniper, Pine, Maple, Oak, and Silver Birch need natural light and fresh air. They also benefit from a winter dormancy period to remain healthy and strong. These species capture the beauty of nature in miniature form.They make stunning focal points in gardens, patios, and outdoor spaces.
