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.

EXCELLENT Based on 529 reviews Posted on Roy Rossow After spending Christmas and New Year deliberating over what to buy, l am more than happy with my first purchase. My only axe to grind is the 'dump it and run' policy of the courier, meaning the packaging was soaking wet by the time we saw it.Posted on J Bowers Delighted with the Bonsai tree which arrived in peak condition. It came with very helpful instructions and we are also supported by the Bonsai Direct website. This covers virtually all we need to know including good care demonstration videos and through which we can purchase various Bonsai Direct products including Bonsai growth feed. There is also a help-line. Bonsai Direct is a first-class supplier!Posted on Rob Perkins Excellent product. Very quick delivery and very well packaged. Recommended.Posted on Kim Airey Great variety of plants and really good communication once ordered and arrived in great condition. Brilliant Christmas present, well received.Posted on Sam Baker FANTASTIC company to buy from. The quality of my Ficus is amazing. You can see they are well cared for. I like that there are so many help videos on You Tube as well, covering all aspects of Bonsai care which is so helpful. They really are a great company to deal with and I definitely recommend!Posted on Keith Everest I ordered a Chinese Elm from Bonsai Direct. I was completely blown away by how beautiful my purchase was for the price. I’d had a look in some of my local garden centres and not one came close to the one I bought. Delivery was excellent. Delivered in a very unique and well labelled box in very good time. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be ordering from Bonsai Direct again.Posted on Bobbie Readings Amazing service. Next day deliver was smooth and fast! Package of the tree was amazing. No damage and the tree was in great condition on arrival. This was a birthday gift for someone and they were blown away with the tree. It looks amazing can tell it has been greatly looked after already!Posted on Wu Tong My first bonsai as I begin my new hobby in 2026. A lovely Chinese elm with a very interesting and distinctive root structure. I feel honoured to be part of this tree’s journey, and hope we can grow and accompany each other for a long time.🤟🏻🪭Posted on Moira Di Cesare I bought a bonsai from Bonsai Direct and absolutely love it. It arrived on Saturday as requested, was really well packaged, and looked perfect. I chose a sweet plum bonsai and it’s such a lovely little tree. As a complete beginner, I really appreciated the clear care instructions, which made everything much easier. I’d definitely recommend Bonsai Direct and would happily order from them again.
