A Beautiful Fukien Tea Tree Bonsai
The Fukien Tea Tree, Carmona microphylla, is a much-loved indoor bonsai species and a popular choice for a birthday gift for nan. It features naturally small, rich green leaves with a glossy finish, which sit neatly along fine branches. Moreover, its creamy, lightly textured bark gives the tree a mature and established appearance. During the summer months, tiny white flowers bloom, adding gentle seasonal interest and a soft, uplifting feel.
Styling, Shape & Character
This bonsai displays a classic Oriental style with a flowing, twisty S-shaped trunk. As a result, it feels artistic and elegant without appearing formal. Its evergreen nature ensures it remains attractive throughout the year, which makes it a constant feature rather than a short-lived display. Additionally, its balanced proportions suit a windowsill, side table, or desk, making it easy for nan to enjoy in any warm room.
Why This Bonsai Is Easy to Care For
Fukien Tea Tree bonsai adapt well to warm indoor environments and are therefore well suited to beginners. Because of their compact leaves and steady growth habit, they reward simple routines without becoming demanding. Place the bonsai in a bright room away from cold draughts and keep the soil gently moist. Apply bonsai fertiliser weekly to encourage new growth and flowers. With these straightforward steps, the bonsai will continue to thrive and develop.
Pot, Drip Tray & Gifting Presentation
This bonsai comes planted in a navy blue ceramic pot and includes a dark-coloured drip tray for practical indoor display. A floral “Special Nan” wooden hanging tag adds a thoughtful finishing touch, making the gift feel personal and ready to give. Gift wrap and personalisation options are available at checkout, and a complimentary gift message can also be included.
