Chinese New Year Flowers That Last a Lifetime | Flowering Fukien Tea Bonsai Starter Kit
Celebrate the Lunar New Year with Chinese New Year flowers that continue to grow and flourish for years to come. This outstanding beginner-friendly bonsai starter kit centres around a beautifully styled 12-year-old Fukien Tea Tree bonsai (Carmona microphylla), chosen for its elegance, symbolism, and rewarding flowering habit.
This mid-sized indoor bonsai features a graceful S-shaped trunk with natural movement and maturity. Its deep green, glossy leaves create a refined evergreen canopy, while delicate white flowers appear during the summer months, adding seasonal charm. As a result, it offers both year-round structure and the joy of flowering—making it a meaningful alternative to traditional cut flowers.
A Complete Chinese New Year Flowering Bonsai Kit
This Chinese New Year flowers gift arrives as a fully curated starter kit, therefore making it ideal for beginners and gift recipients alike. The bonsai is potted in a navy blue ceramic pot and paired with a dark coloured drip tray to protect surfaces and complete the presentation.
The kit also includes everything needed to care for the bonsai with confidence: bonsai fertiliser, pruning scissors, a Bonsai Direct care handbook, and a beautifully made 700ml midnight blue Haws watering can. To mark the occasion, a miniature red Chinese lantern adds a festive and cheerful finishing touch.
Symbolism and Lasting Meaning
The Fukien Tea Tree is rich in symbolism, representing courage, heart, and strength—sentiments perfectly aligned with Chinese New Year wishes. Unlike traditional flowers, this living bonsai continues to develop character and beauty over time. Consequently, it becomes a lasting reminder of the celebration rather than a fleeting display.
