Fruiting Indoor Bonsai | Graceful Design & Rich Colours – Sageretia Bonsai

Sageretia Bonsai Tree | Mature, Graceful & Full of Character – A Perfect Beginners Indoor Species

This exceptional Chinese Sweet Plum (Sageretia theezans) is a mature and beautifully styled indoor bonsai, full of depth, colour and artistic charm. At 42 cm tall with a generous 37 cm canopy spread, it has real presence. Its nebari is truly exemplary — a strong, long, exposed root rises confidently from the soil, guiding the eye into the twisting, refined trunk. The movement is elegant, natural and wonderfully expressive, making this a standout piece in our premium collection.

Lloyd has recently given this bonsai a light seasonal trim to encourage back-budding. Even in mid-winter (December 2025), fresh new buds are already emerging, adding energy and promise to the design. The colours are delightful too. New leaves flush with warm red tips, soft limes and rich emerald greens, creating a vibrant display throughout the year.

The bark shows mature texture and lovely natural features, while the branching sweeps gently to form a graceful, open canopy. Styled with care and patience, this Sweet Plum offers an inviting woodland feel and a calm, flowing silhouette.

Potted in a stylish cream ceramic pot with a matching drip tray, this bonsai looks clean and contemporary. The tray protects surfaces during watering and helps increase humidity — especially helpful during the dry winter months. We recommend placing the tray on a protective mat to avoid condensation marks.

This is the exact bonsai you will receive.

About the Sageretia theezans Species

The Chinese Sweet Plum is a much-loved indoor species, admired for its:

• Glossy rounded leaves that blush russet in warmer months

• Pretty purple plum-like fruits once mature (from around 8 years old)

• Strong, sculptural trunks with expressive movement

• Excellent back-budding and easy, rewarding growth

• Symbolism linked to protection, creativity, new life and warm wishes

Its forgiving nature makes it perfect for beginners, yet its artistic potential delights experienced bonsai enthusiasts too.

Why This Sageretia Bonsai Stands Out

This premium Sageretia has superb proportions, a powerful root flare and a beautifully styled trunk. The colours are exquisite, the design is sweeping and serene, and the overall maturity is clear the moment you see it. This is a true statement bonsai — full of character, elegance and seasonal beauty.
