Serissa Bonsai Tree – Tree of a Thousand Stars | 9-Year-Old Indoor Bonsai with Incredible Exposed Roots
Discover the delicate beauty of the Serissa bonsai tree, affectionately known as the Tree of a Thousand Stars. This enchanting 9-year-old bonsai has a graceful informal upright design, a naturally textured trunk, and one of the most captivating root structures you will ever find. Several exposed roots rise high into the air before merging seamlessly into the trunk, giving this tree a dramatic and sculptural appearance.
Potted in a stylish silvery-green ceramic pot with a matching drip tray, this Serissa displays elegant contrast. The soft pot colour enhances the vivid green leaves and highlights the flowing lines of the root and trunk structure. Its canopy is naturally neat and full, with tiny, well-proportioned leaves that give this bonsai a polished and tidy silhouette.
This is the exact bonsai you will receive.
About the Serissa Species
The Serissa foetida, often called Snow Rose or Tree of a Thousand Stars, is a highly admired indoor bonsai species. It is beloved for its:
Tiny evergreen leaves
Textured bark and graceful branch structure
Outstanding exposed roots and characterful trunk formation
Star-shaped white flowers, which appear through the warmer months
In summer, the Serissa produces clusters of delicate white blooms that look like tiny stars scattered across the canopy. These flowers stand out beautifully against the lush green foliage, giving the tree its poetic nickname.
The species thrives in bright indoor spaces with stable warmth and gentle light. It responds well to pruning, making it rewarding for beginners while still offering plenty of refinement for more experienced bonsai lovers.
Symbolism
The Serissa embodies well-being, good luck and hope. Its starry white flowers symbolise purity, calm and simplicity. Many people choose the Serissa as a thoughtful gift because of its uplifting symbolism and delicate beauty.
