Flowering Evergreen Indoor Beginners Bonsai | Phenomenal Shari

A Charismatic Twisty Flowering Bonsai with Striking Shari Detail

This stunning flowering Fukien Tea Tree (Carmona microphylla) indoor bonsai is rich in character and artistry. Its elegant, twisty trunk is enhanced by an incredible shari feature, running along the trunk. Expressive surface roots further anchor the design, creating a powerful sense of movement and maturity.

The trunk itself is full of fascinating natural features, with textured creamy bark and lovely curves. Together, these elements give the bonsai a sculptural presence that feels both refined and expressive.

The canopy is beautifully balanced, formed by neat branching and glossy, deep green leaves. In summer, this species produces delicate white flowers, adding an extra layer of charm to its already striking appearance.

This bonsai comes potted in a metallic black ceramic bonsai pot with a matching drip tray. It offers a classic, understated contrast that allows the tree’s natural features to take centre stage. The tray also provides practical protection for indoor surfaces during watering.

Caring for the Fukien Tea Tree

The Fukien Tea Tree bonsai thrives in warm, bright conditions and prefers to be kept indoors year-round, ideally near a sunny windowsill with plenty of natural light. It enjoys consistent moisture, so the soil should be kept lightly damp—never allowing it to fully dry out, but avoiding waterlogging. This species is known for its delicate white flowers and fine foliage, so maintaining stable temperatures, good airflow, and regular feeding during the growing season will help it flourish. With gentle pruning, the Fukien Tea Tree develops beautiful structure and remains a rewarding, characterful bonsai for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
