Fukien Tea: a Bonsai with Flowers and Character
The Carmona Fukien Tea bonsai (sometimes also written as Fukien Tea) comes from a warm region in China and is very popular among bonsai enthusiasts.
What makes this bonsai special are the small dark green leaves and the white flowers that can appear all year round with proper care. This gives the bonsai a lively and elegant appearance that you don’t see in many other bonsai species.
The combination of a compact shape, fine branching, and flowering makes the Carmona a real eye-catcher in the home.
Carmona Bonsai for Indoors
The Carmona Fukien Tea is very suitable as an indoor bonsai. This type comes from the part of China where it is warm all year round, which is very similar to the ‘climate’ in a home or office. The Carmona bonsai feels most at home in a stable environment without large temperature fluctuations.
Place the bonsai in a bright spot, but avoid direct strong sunlight. A constant temperature and sufficient light ensure the bonsai stays healthy and grows well.
For fans of indoor bonsai, the Carmona is an excellent choice.
Who is a Fukien Tea bonsai suitable for?
The Carmona bonsai is suitable for both beginners and somewhat more experienced bonsai lovers, but it does require a bit more attention than, for example, a Ficus bonsai.
If you are willing to water the bonsai regularly and pay close attention to its location, this is a perfect choice. Because of the flowers and fine structure, it is a bonsai that truly lives and continuously changes.
We also have easy care Carmona bonsai. These have a water reservoir, so you hardly need to worry about care. See all our easy care bonsai here.
