A beautiful & Unique Sympathy Plant Gift | Twiggy & Twisty Beginners Indoor Bonsai Tree

Gifting a tree or a bonsai as a sympathy plant gift is a thoughtful way to honour someone’s memory because it represents life, growth, and renewal. Planting a tree in memory of a loved one creates a lasting tribute. As the tree grows, it serves as a living reminder, symbolising the person’s continued presence in the world in a way that feels enduring and meaningful.

Unlike flowers, which fade quickly, trees and bonsais offer something long-lasting. They provide a comforting sense of continuity, something the grieving can hold on to for years. Caring for a tree or bonsai also brings a sense of peace, as the nurturing process encourages reflection and can be a source of calm in difficult times.

A bonsai, however, can be an even more personal and intimate gift. Because of its small size, it can be kept inside, allowing the recipient to feel close to nature without needing a garden. Tending to a bonsai requires care and patience, which can be soothing, almost meditative—helping someone find peace during their grief. Its delicate beauty and the attention it needs make it a deeply meaningful and thoughtful gift that lasts for years.

This is an 8 year old twisty Chinese Elm. It has been accompanied by a “With Sympathy” wooden hanging tag. This bonsai does not come with a drip tray; but it is available as an optional extra.

The Chinese Elm symbolises inner strength, intuition, wisdom & love.

FREE next working day delivery is available. Alternatively, you can choose your preferred delivery date at the checkout. Additionally, you can gift wrap this bonsai and add personalised extras once added to the basket. You can also add a complimentary message to convey your heartfelt sympathy. This can be added to a gift card for a small surcharge.

This is a particular easy variety of indoor bonsai to care for. It requires the soil to be kept damp and a little bonsai fertiliser to encourage new leaves.
