Serissa Foetida Bonsai – 16-Year-Old Tree of a Thousand Stars
A Mature Flowering Bonsai Ideal for Beginners
This 16-year-old Serissa foetida bonsai offers maturity, structure, and delicate seasonal flowering. Commonly known as the Tree of a Thousand Stars or Snowrose, this species develops a compact canopy and refined branching over time. The trunk shows natural movement and texture, which gives the tree real presence despite its modest size. We pot it in a glazed ceramic bonsai pot and include a dark-coloured drip tray for a clean, practical display.
As a beginner indoor bonsai kit, it provides both an established tree and the essential tools needed to maintain it.
The Serissa Foetida – Snowrose and Tree of a Thousand Stars
Serissa foetida is widely recognised for its small pointed leaves and delicate white star-shaped flowers. During warmer months, these blooms appear across the canopy and give the tree its well-known name, the Tree of a Thousand Stars. The foliage remains compact and dense, which allows you to maintain a neat, balanced silhouette with regular pruning.
At 16 years old, the trunk displays developed character and well-established branching. With consistent care, the canopy becomes fuller and more refined over time. You may place the tree outdoors during warmer months. Each bonsai develops individually, so subtle differences in trunk shape and flowering add to its natural character.
What’s Included in the Kit
You will receive the 16-year-old Serissa bonsai planted in its ceramic bonsai pot. A dark-coloured drip tray accompanies the tree to help manage watering and protect surfaces.
We also include a bottle of bonsai feed to support healthy foliage and flowering during the growing season. In addition, a pair of pruning scissors allows you to maintain the canopy and refine the tree’s shape as it develops. Plus, we have included a watering can (choose your colour) and a copy of our Bonsai Direct care handbook.
Symbolism of the Tree of a Thousand Stars
The Serissa bonsai symbolises wellbeing, hope, and good luck. Its delicate flowers represent renewal and positivity, while its steady growth reflects patience and care. As the tree matures further, it rewards attention with both refined structure and seasonal bloom.
For many owners, the Tree of a Thousand Stars becomes a calming and satisfying bonsai to cultivate over time.
