Choose Your Bonsai Species
– Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia)
A customer favourite, the Chinese Elm is robust, forgiving and wonderfully adaptable indoors. Its trunk develops beautiful curves over many years, giving a mature woodland appearance in miniature. The serrated green leaves stay in leaf all year when grown inside, and light pruning encourages a fuller, well-structured canopy. It is one of the easiest bonsai for beginners thanks to its steady growth and reliable nature.
– Fukien Tea Tree (Carmona microphylla)
The Fukien Tea Tree brings a softer and more ornamental look. Known for its glossy leaves and naturally compact proportions, it also produces tiny white flowers through the warmer months. This species enjoys a warm room and rewards thoughtful care with pretty blooms and a refined shape. If you prefer a bonsai with flowering character and delicate detail, the Carmona is a lovely choice.
