Chinese Elm Bonsai Starter Pack – 12 Years

Because of you I laugh a little harder, cry a little less and smile a lot more

A Gift Designed to Make Them Smile

If you want a gift that genuinely lifts the mood, this larger Chinese Elm bonsai delivers something special. Instead of a short-lived gesture, it offers a living tree that grows stronger with time. As a result, it becomes a daily reminder of positivity, love, and shared smiles.

A Larger Chinese Elm Bonsai for Easier Care

At the heart of this kit sits a well-established 12-year-old Chinese Elm. It features a graceful S-shaped trunk and a naturally twiggy structure that closely resembles a miniature woodland tree. Because this bonsai is larger than our standard range, it holds moisture for longer and dries out more slowly. Consequently, it is easier to care for and ideal for beginners.

Why This Bonsai Is Perfect for Beginners

Chinese Elm bonsai are hardy, forgiving, and rewarding to grow. This variety responds well to pruning and styling, which makes learning enjoyable rather than intimidating. Place it in a bright indoor position, keep the soil just damp, and feed regularly. Over time, you can shape and refine it while watching confidence grow alongside the tree.

What’s Included in the “Because of You” Starter Kit

This complete starter pack arrives ready to enjoy. The bonsai comes planted in a midnight blue ceramic pot and sits neatly on a dark coloured drip tray. In addition, the kit includes bonsai pruning scissors, bonsai fertiliser, and the Bonsai Direct care handbook. A wooden hanging tag reads, “Because of you I laugh a little harder, cry a little less and smile a lot more,”adding a heartfelt finishing touch.

Symbolism Behind the Chinese Elm

Often known as the tree of harmony, the Chinese Elm symbolises inner strength, intuition, wisdom, and love. Therefore, it makes a meaningful gift for anyone who brings joy, balance, and calm into your life. With its natural proportions and characterful shape, it also remains one of the most tree-like indoor bonsai available.
