šŸƒ Fukien Tea Bonsai Care Guide

šŸ“– About the Fukien Tea

The Fukien Tea Bonsai is a popular indoor species known for its shiny dark-green leaves, small white flowers, and tiny red berries. Native to China and Southeast Asia, this tree brings year-round beauty and is often considered a ā€œclassicā€ indoor bonsai for both beginners and enthusiasts.

Its glossy foliage and ability to flower multiple times a year make it a living piece of art for any space.

ā˜€ļø Light

Prefers bright, indirect sunlight.

Can handle some direct morning or late afternoon sun but avoid harsh midday rays.

Indoors, place near a south or west-facing window with filtered light.

šŸ’§ Watering

Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy.

Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Mist the foliage occasionally to increase humidity.

Sensitive to overwateringā€”ensure the pot has good drainage.

šŸŒ”ļø Temperature & Climate

Best kept in warm indoor conditions: 60ā€“85Ā°F (15ā€“29Ā°C).

Protect from cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and frost.

Not frost-tolerantā€”bring indoors when temps fall below 55Ā°F (13Ā°C).

āœ‚ļø Pruning & Styling

Fukien Tea responds well to pruning and can be shaped year-round.

Pinch back new shoots to encourage a fuller canopy.

Can be styled into upright, informal upright, and broom styles.

šŸŒ± Fertilizing

Fertilize every 2ā€“3 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Reduce feeding in winter months when growth slows.

A bloom booster (high in phosphorus) can encourage flowers when the tree is mature and healthy.

šŸ“¦ Post-Shipping Care

Leaf drop may occur after shippingā€”this is normal.

Place the tree in a warm, bright location and resume a steady watering schedule.

Within a week or two, new growth will appear.
