About This Flowering Fukien Tea Bonsai
This attractive Fukien Tea Tree bonsai, Carmona microphylla, is a popular choice for beginners. It features glossy evergreen leaves, creamy textured bark, and a naturally twisty S-shaped trunk. During the summer months, it produces delicate white flowers, which adds a sense of excitement and seasonal interest. As a result, it offers year-round appeal with a rewarding flowering display.
Styling, Shape & Character
This mid-sized, 8-year-old bonsai has gentle trunk movement and balanced proportions. Moreover, its compact size makes it ideal for bedrooms, desks, shelves, or shared living spaces. Because of this, it fits easily into a nephew’s room or study without feeling overwhelming. The oriental styling gives it an artistic look while remaining approachable for first-time bonsai owners.
Why This Bonsai Is Easy to Care For
The Fukien Tea Tree responds well to simple, consistent care. Therefore, it makes an excellent gift for nephew, even if he is new to bonsai or houseplants. It prefers a warm room with bright, indirect light and benefits from watering once the soil surface begins to dry. Apply bonsai fertiliser weekly to encourage new growth and flowers. With this straightforward routine, the bonsai stays healthy and enjoyable to look after.

This species symbolises courage, heart, love, and devotion. Because of this, it makes a meaningful gift for a nephew, representing encouragement, care, and support as he grows. Over time, the bonsai becomes a living reminder of thoughtfulness and connection.
