Cuphea. Bonsai 9 years. Cupheas. The so-called indoor trees are mostly trees from tropical origins, that do not support low temperatures. We must place them indoors, always close to a source of natural light. Evergreen bush. Liked for its small leaves and its plentiful purple flowers. Commonly they are known as cupheas, or, in the case of some species, as cigar plants.

Location: Outside in Mediterranean climates during the whole year with lots of sun. In winter protect against freezing.

Watering: Abundant in summer and in moderation in winter.

Curiosities: It’s a relative of Lagerstroemia. If you look at a thick trunk, you will see the same texture and after flaking off the bark also a smooth and shiny trunk.

Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 35 x 31 x 36 cm.

Note: The shape and measurements of the bonsais are approximate. The pot is included on the dimensions. The colour and shape of the pot may vary from that of the photo. A bonsai is a living being, so the vegetative state of the plant changes according to the season. The images that appear are non-binding illustrative pictures.
