Bring Tranquillity Home with Authentic Indoor Bonsai

• Bonsai trees are living sculptures, cultivated over years to capture the beauty and grandeur of mature trees in miniature form. These indoor bonsai mixes are ideal for adding a serene, oriental touch to any home or office.
• Grown in 16cm ceramic pots, each tree comes rooted in a Japanese-style saucer that enhances its display and helps retain moisture.

Plant Benefits & Botanical Details

• Bonsai trees are typically evergreen species such as Ficus or Chinese Elm, valued for their resilience and elegant branching.
• The compact size (pot diameter: 16cm) makes them suitable for windowsills, desks, or side tables.
• Bonsai trees improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere wherever placed.

Caring for Your Bonsai

• Light: Place your bonsai where it receives bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct midday sun which may scorch leaves.
• Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water when the top layer feels dry; do not let roots dry out completely.
• Humidity: Indoor bonsai benefit from regular misting or a humidity tray, especially in centrally heated rooms.
• Pruning: Trim new shoots regularly to maintain shape and encourage dense growth. Prune roots annually if repotting is needed.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn).

Design & Placement Ideas

• Add your bonsai to a meditation corner or reading nook for instant calm.
• Create an indoor zen garden by pairing with mosses or small ferns that thrive in similar conditions.
• Bonsai trees make elegant centrepieces for dining tables or office reception areas.

FAQs

• When is the best time to repot my bonsai?
  The ideal time is late winter to early spring before new growth begins.
• How fast do bonsai trees grow?
  Bonsai growth is slow; expect only a few centimetres per year due to regular pruning and pot constraints.
• What type of soil does my bonsai prefer?
  A well-draining bonsai mix with some organic matter works best. Avoid heavy garden soils that retain too much moisture.
