12-Year-Old Chinese Sweet Plum Bonsai – Twisting Artistic Trunk

This 12-year-old Chinese Sweet Plum Bonsai (Sageretia theezans) is a truly striking indoor tree with an elegant, twisting trunk that’s been carefully shaped over time for maximum character and flow. Grown on our nursery and full of natural artistry, it’s a mature bonsai that stands out in any space—perfect as a meaningful gift or a centrepiece for your home.

The Sweet Plum is loved for its rich green, glossy foliage which emerges with a beautiful blush-red tint in new growth. The small leaves grow in tight clusters, enhancing the visibility of the trunk’s dramatic curves. In the warmer months, you may spot tiny white flowers appearing, followed by little plum-like purple fruits as the tree matures—subtle but enchanting seasonal highlights.

Potted in a classic deep blue ceramic pot; the colours of this bonsai are perfectly balanced. The vibrant green canopy contrasts beautifully with the pot’s rich glaze, giving this tree a timeless and elegant presence.

This variety enjoys a bright indoor position out of direct sunlight and prefers its soil to be gently damp. Light misting can help mimic its natural tropical environment, and a steady room temperature keeps it happy year-round.

Water: Keep the soil gently damp, never allowing it to dry out completely.
Humidity: Daily misting helps mimic its natural tropical habitat and keeps the foliage healthy.
Temperature: Thrives in a warm, stable environment; protect from cold drafts and frost.

Feeding for Vibrant Growth

For optimal health and lush growth, feed your Sweet Plum bonsai weekly during the growing season with a soluble bonsai fertiliser, diluted to the recommended strength. This regular feeding is vital, to keep the bonsai actively growing and fruiting.
