This is a Fukien Tea bonsai tree (Carmona retusa), an evergreen flowering species admired for its small glossy leaves, delicate white blooms, and fine branching structure.
Native to southern China and Southeast Asia, this bonsai features compact foliage with natural white speckling and produces small white flowers during warm seasons, followed by tiny berries. Its short internodes and dense branching make it well-suited for miniature bonsai styling and refined shaping.
Each tree is hand-trained by bonsai artisans to develop graceful curves and a balanced structure, with natural variation in trunk form and branching. Its compact size makes it suitable for desks, shelves, and indoor display spaces.
This bonsai thrives in bright, indirect light and can tolerate some gentle morning sun. It requires consistently moist, well-draining soil, and should be watered when the topsoil begins to dry, avoiding waterlogged conditions.
The plant prefers a warm, humid environment and should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C). Maintaining adequate humidity can support healthy foliage and flowering.
For ongoing growth, apply a balanced bonsai fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Light pruning can be performed year-round to maintain shape, with structural pruning typically done after flowering.
Ideal for indoor display, bonsai enthusiasts, compact spaces, and as a meaningful living gift with both foliage and flowering interest.
