Discover the beauty of this individually photographed 14-year-old Serissa bonsai, also known as the Tree of a Thousand Stars or Snow Rose. This exceptional indoor bonsai combines dramatic trunk movement, outstanding exposed roots and beautifully refined foliage. Every twist and curve reflects years of careful cultivation, creating a specimen with remarkable balance, depth and personality.

Lloyd has recently repotted this special bonsai into a brand-new cream oval glazed ceramic bonsai pot with a matching ceramic drip tray. As part of our Premium Collection, this is the exact bonsai you will receive.

Exceptional Three-Dimensional Trunk Movement

The trunk immediately captures your attention. Instead of twisting in a single direction, it flows gracefully through the composition with elegant three-dimensional curves. Consequently, every viewing angle reveals a different perspective.

The trunk also displays excellent taper, gradually narrowing towards the apex to create the illusion of a mature tree in miniature. Meanwhile, the beautifully textured creamy bark adds age, warmth and natural character. Together, these features create an artistic bonsai that feels both powerful and elegant.

Outstanding Exposed Roots

The remarkable root system makes this bonsai even more distinctive. Multiple surface roots rise proudly from the soil before merging into the trunk. They resemble the exposed roots of a tree standing on a gently eroded riverbank.

This exceptional nebari creates strength and stability while adding tremendous visual interest. Furthermore, it gives the bonsai a mature appearance that perfectly complements the flowing trunk.

Neat Evergreen Foliage and Beautiful Flowers

Above the trunk sits a carefully refined canopy with compact, well-balanced foliage pads. The naturally small, glossy green leaves allow the elegant branch structure to remain visible throughout the year. As a result, the tree always looks tidy and beautifully proportioned.

During the warmer months, Serissa foetida produces masses of delicate white flowers. These tiny star-shaped blooms scatter across the canopy and contrast beautifully with the rich green foliage. Their abundance gives the species its famous name, the Tree of a Thousand Stars, and creates one of the most spectacular flowering displays of any indoor bonsai.

A Rewarding Indoor Bonsai

Serissa foetida has earned its reputation as one of the finest flowering indoor bonsai species. Enthusiasts value it for its naturally compact leaves, fine twigging and prolific flowering. In addition, it responds exceptionally well to pruning, developing increasingly dense ramification and beautifully defined foliage pads.

Place your bonsai in a cool, bright room with plenty of natural daylight. Water thoroughly whenever the compost begins to dry, and feed weekly throughout the growing season. During summer, you can also place it outside in a sheltered position. However, always protect it from frost.

With regular care, this beautiful bonsai will continue to flourish, flower and become even more impressive year after year.

Premium Presentation

Lloyd has carefully repotted this outstanding specimen into a brand-new cream oval glazed ceramic bonsai pot with a matching ceramic drip tray. The soft cream glaze complements the textured bark perfectly while allowing the sculptural trunk and refined canopy to remain the centre of attention.

Symbolism of the Serissa Bonsai

The Tree of a Thousand Stars symbolises hope, wellbeing, peace and good fortune. Meanwhile, its delicate white flowers represent optimism, purity and new beginnings. Consequently, this bonsai makes a thoughtful gift or a meaningful addition to your own collection.
