Flowering Serissa Bonsai Tree | Tree of a Thousand Stars
A Beautiful 10-Year-Old Flowering Serissa
This beautiful 10-year-old Serissa Bonsai Tree (Serissa foetida) combines graceful trunk movement, attractive textured bark and a light, beautifully balanced canopy. Also known as the Snowrose or Tree of a Thousand Stars, it is one of our most charming flowering indoor bonsai varieties.
The trunk has wonderful serpentine movement, gently twisting as it rises through the tree. Its naturally flaky, textured bark adds maturity and character, creating an attractive contrast against the fresh green foliage.
This is the exact Serissa bonsai you will receive. We have individually photographed this tree so you can appreciate its unique shape, trunk and branch structure before choosing it.
Elegant Branching & a Light, Refined Canopy
The open branch placement is particularly attractive on this bonsai. Rather than hiding the structure beneath dense foliage, the branches have plenty of space to develop and can be clearly appreciated from different angles.
Small, pointed green leaves sit neatly along the branches and create a fresh, balanced canopy. The fine foliage also helps emphasise the proportions of the tree, giving it the appearance of a much larger mature tree in miniature.
Serissa responds very well to pruning, so you can continue refining the foliage pads and shape as new shoots develop.
The Tree of a Thousand Stars
During the warmer months, Serissa can produce masses of delicate little star-shaped flowers amongst its green foliage. These pretty blooms give the species its wonderful name, the Tree of a Thousand Stars.
It is also commonly known as the Snowrose, another reference to its beautiful flowers. The combination of fresh foliage, creamy textured bark and seasonal blossom gives this bonsai plenty of interest throughout the year.
Brand-New Soft Mid-Blue Ceramic Pot
We have recently planted this bonsai into a brand-new soft mid-blue ceramic bonsai pot with a matching drip tray.
The gentle blue glaze provides a beautiful backdrop for the green foliage and complements the lighter tones within the textured bark. Its understated colour allows the tree to remain the main focus while giving the entire composition a fresh, elegant finish.
The matching ceramic drip tray completes the presentation and helps protect surrounding surfaces following watering.
Meaningful Symbolism
Serissa is traditionally associated with well-being, good luck and hope. Combined with its delicate flowers and graceful appearance, this makes it a particularly meaningful bonsai to give as a gift.
It can be a thoughtful choice for a birthday, new home, celebration or simply as a beautiful living gift for someone special.

Caring for Your Serissa Bonsai
Keep your Serissa indoors in a cool, bright room with plenty of natural light. Check the compost regularly and water thoroughly when the surface begins to feel slightly dry. Avoid allowing the root ball to dry out completely.
Feed regularly during the growing season and trim extending shoots to maintain the attractive shape of the canopy. Serissa responds well to pruning, making it rewarding to shape and develop over time.
