About This Flowering Fukien Tea Bonsai
This elegant Fukien Tea Tree bonsai, Carmona microphylla, is a popular choice for beginners and plant lovers alike. It features glossy evergreen leaves, creamy textured bark, and a naturally twisty trunk. During the summer months, it produces delicate white flowers that appear between the leaves, adding a light and uplifting touch. As a result, it feels both decorative and engaging throughout the year.
Styling, Shape & Character
This 8-year-old bonsai displays a graceful S-shaped trunk with balanced proportions and gentle movement. Moreover, its compact size makes it ideal for desks, windowsills, or shelves without taking over the space. Because of this, it works particularly well as an office gift, adding personality and life to a workspace. Its oriental styling gives it an artistic feel while remaining approachable.
Why This Bonsai Is Easy to Care For
The Fukien Tea Tree responds well to simple, consistent care. Therefore, it suits uncles who may be new to bonsai or simply want a plant that is enjoyable rather than demanding. 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 routine, it remains healthy and rewarding to look after.
Symbolism & Meaning
This species symbolises courage, heart, love, and devotion. Because of this, it makes a meaningful gift for uncle, especially for birthdays or personal milestones. Over time, the bonsai becomes a living reminder of appreciation and connection.

Our growers pot this bonsai in a navy blue ceramic pot that complements the glossy foliage and white flowers. An appropriate-sized dark drip tray is included for practical indoor display.
