This spectacular 18-year-old Serissa foetida grows with elegance and maturity after many years of slow, careful pot cultivation. It stands 45 cm tall and forms a graceful silhouette that immediately commands attention. You will receive this exact individually photographed bonsai, presented in a brand new teal oval ceramic pot with a decorative band that highlights its refined design. The contemporary teal glaze enhances the tree’s delicacy and supports its artistic styling.

This Serissa shows a neat and relatively fine root flare, or nebari, that anchors the composition with natural strength. The trunk measures around 2.5cm in diameter and rises confidently before dividing into primary branches. These branches look clean, refined and beautifully ramified. I love the proportions and the elegant design.

Trunk & Nebari of this Serissa Bonsai Tree

This Serissa shows a neat and relatively fine root flare, or nebari, that anchors the composition with natural strength. The trunk measures around 2.5cm in diameter and rises confidently before dividing into primary branches. These branches look clean, refined and beautifully ramified. I love the proportions and the elegant design.

The branching structure displays excellent refinement. The lines stay clean and uncluttered, and the textured bark reveals the tree’s maturity. The canopy forms three distinct foliage pads, each light and airy. Because the leaves are tiny and delicate, they allow glimpses through the structure, adding depth and subtle movement. The more you look, the more details you notice. This is a bonsai that rewards calm observation and thoughtful appreciation.

Species Overview – Serissa foetida

The Serissa, or Tree of a Thousand Stars, produces delicate white flowers during the growing season. It stays compact and responds well to gentle pruning. It prefers bright indoor light and steady conditions, offering elegance and seasonal interest to beginners and collectors alike.

Why Customers Trust Bonsai Direct

Our family-run nursery in rural Devon grows every bonsai with expert care. We hand-style each tree and never mass-produce our stock. Additionally, we cultivate our bonsai slowly and sustainably to ensure long-term health. We individually photograph every premium tree, including this one, so you can choose with complete confidence. Moreover, we offer exceptional customer support, fast delivery on your chosen date and a printed care guide with every order.

Maintenance

Place in bright light. Water when the soil begins to dry. Apply bonsai fertiliser weekly to support flowering and healthy growth. Applying Bonsai Mist twice a week is best practice – it foliar feeds, conditions the leaves and increases the humidity.
