Serissa Bonsai – A Blooming Bonsai with Naturally Small Proportions

The Serissa foetida bonsai tree is a very pretty, delicately proportioned indoor bonsai, which has small elongated leaves which are smooth around the edges. The bark has great character and is a beautiful beige colour and is often flaky and textured giving the appearance of age. The added bonus being the beautiful star-shaped small white flowers experienced during mid-late summer. The Serissa is commonly known as The tree of a Thousand Stars bonsai or Snowrose Bonsai Tree. Please protect from frost. Ideal as an indoor bonsai.

Bonsai in general symbolise peace, harmony, order of thoughts and balance.
The Serissa is a dainty tree which symbolises well being, good luck and hope.

Serissa Bonsai – A Truly Delightful Graceful Indoor Bonsai Species

The Serissa bonsai tree is a real gem of a miniature indoor tree. The small miniature proportions are beautiful. A flowering variety with tiny snow white star shaped flowers which give rise to the more common names of The Tree of a Thousand Stars and Snowrose. These blossoms are small, dainty, and absolutely stunning in their simplicity. This is an evergreen bonsai species but is not frost hardy so should be grown indoors during winter months. It is extremely ornate and oriental in design. The leaves of the Serissa are naturally compact – ensuring an even lush designed miniature tree.

The Serissa bonsai thrive indoors, making them a popular choice for homes, offices, apartments and flats. It is well known for its fine and delicate branches, allowing for intricate shaping and styling. Its leaves stay green year-round, contributing to its beauty even during the winter months. Its responsive nature to wiring and pruning techniques allows grower to create various styles and designs

The Tree of Well Being, Hope and Good Luck

Are you trying to find a gift with the special meanings of hope or good luck? This has to be a top recommendation. The Tree of a Thousand Stars would make a spectacular Wedding, Anniversary or Birthday gift idea. It is creative, artistic and exceptionally pretty.

Caring for your Serissa Bonsai

This species of bonsai is very fine rooted so it prefers to be kept on the drier side. Consequently, less frequent watering is recommended. Once a week we recommend using our Bonsai fertiliser in the water to provide the bonsai the nutrients it requires to flourish. It likes a warm position away from cold draughts. A position with some natural light; but please avoid very hot bright locations during mid summer so you do not scorch the leaves. Styling is easy, it responds well to gentle pruning.
