Tree of a Thousand Stars – Serissa foetida Indoor Bonsai
An Elegant Literati-Style Bonsai with Starry Summer Blooms
Introduce delicate beauty and natural artistry into your home with this enchanting Tree of a Thousand Stars. This 8-year-old Serissa foetida, now styled in a graceful Literati form, displays an expressive twisty trunk, creamy bark tones, and fine, fresh green leaves. During mid-to-late summer, it bursts into a canopy of tiny white, star-shaped flowers that light up the tree like a constellation.

A Bonsai of Poise, Movement & Miniature Detail
This beautiful Serissa foetida showcases a slender, elegant trunk line free of lower branches, typical of the Literati style. The gentle curves and exposed root interest give the tree a sense of age and quiet storytelling. Small, glossy leaves create a soft, airy canopy that contrasts beautifully with the light bark. When the summer flowers appear, their crisp white petals create a magical “thousand stars” effect that makes this variety truly unforgettable.
Symbolism Full of Meaning & Encouragement
Across culture and tradition, the Snowrose has long symbolised:
Its winding movement and delicate blooms capture the balance between strength and grace. This makes the Serissa an especially thoughtful gift for new beginnings, personal challenges, or heartfelt milestones.
