A Beautiful Fukien Tea Tree Bonsai
The Fukien Tea Tree, Carmona microphylla, is one of the most popular indoor bonsai species for beginners. It features naturally small, rich green leaves with a glossy finish, which sit neatly along fine branches. Moreover, its creamy, lightly textured bark adds depth and maturity to the overall look. During the summer months, tiny white flowers appear, bringing seasonal interest and a soft, elegant contrast to the foliage.
Styling, Shape & Character
This bonsai displays a classic Oriental style with a flowing, twisty S-shaped trunk. As a result, it feels artistic and expressive without appearing formal. Its evergreen nature ensures it remains attractive throughout the year, making it a constant feature rather than a temporary display. Additionally, its balanced proportions suit a bedroom, living space, desk, or windowsill, which makes it easy to place in both homes and offices.
Why This Bonsai Is Easy to Care For
Fukien Tea Tree bonsai adapt well to warm indoor environments and suit first-time bonsai owners with ease. Because of their compact leaves and steady growth habit, they reward simple care routines without being demanding. Place the bonsai in a bright room away from cold draughts and keep the soil lightly moist. Apply bonsai fertiliser weekly to encourage new growth and flowers. With this straightforward approach, the bonsai will continue to thrive and develop.
Pot, Drip Tray & Gifting Presentation

A floral “Special Niece” wooden hanging tag adds a personal finishing touch, making it especially suitable as a niece birthday gift.
