Why You’ll Love Growing This Flowering Bonsai
The Syzygium Buxifolium is a real showstopper. Native to Southeast Asia, it’s sometimes called the Roseapple or Brush Cherry because of its bright red, cherry-sized fruits that appear in autumn. Before the fruit arrives, you’ll see delicate, creamy-white flowers with starburst stamens in summer. The leaves are naturally small and glossy, often starting out with a reddish tint before turning a rich, deep green. So your tree changes with the seasons and always looks fresh.
Its winding trunk gives each tree a unique character, and no two are ever quite the same. It’s a slow grower, so you can enjoy shaping and styling it at your own pace.
Easy Care, Big Rewards
Light: Loves bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window, but avoid harsh midday sun.
Water: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top of the soil feels feels a little dry, and always let excess water drain away.
Humidity: Occasional misting helps mimic its natural habitat and keeps the leaves happy.
Feeding: Use the included fertiliser once a week during the year for healthy growth, flowers, and fruit.
Pruning: Regular trims will keep your bonsai looking neat and encourage new growth.
