Carmona microphylla. Bonsai 20 years. Oriental or Fukien Tea tree

Carmona microphylla. Bonsai 20 years. Oriental or Fukien Tea tree. 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. It is a tropical evergreen leaf tree. It’s appreciated for its shiny leaves, white flowers and small red fruits.

Location: In the Carmona genus we find that the ones with small leaves grow to become miniature bonsai while the ones with bigger leaves grow slightly larger size trees because their growth ratio is higher.

Watering: Generously in summer and decreasing in winter. Spray leaves with pure water.

Curiosities: In a Mediterranean climate, you could place the bonsai outdoors during the summer months and protected from cold temperatures the rest of the year. In colder climates, keep in a greenhouse throughout the year.

Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 46 x 45 x 56

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.
