- The Carmona microphylla also known as the Fukien Tea Tree or Oriental Tea Tree is a simple & elegant flowering bonsai ideal for growing indoors. This bonsai has pretty white flowers during the Summer months and has lovely green, shiny, waxy foliage. The leaves are unusually shaped and grow in neat clusters allowing the flowers and branch structure to be highly visible.
- The Fukien Tea tree is native to parts of Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Australia, but its name comes from its place of origin Fukien or Fujian in China. Bonsai in general symbolise peace, harmony, order of thoughts and balance but the Carmona with its beautiful white flowers, symbolises courage as well as love and devotion.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
