- PLANT CARE
A beautiful tropical shrub or small tree, the Acerola Cherry(Malpighia punicifolia) is prized in bonsai for its graceful branching, glossy green foliage, and charming pink flowers that give way to bright red, edible cherries. Native to the Caribbean and Central America, this species grows in warm, humid regions and is a favorite among bonsai artists for its ornamental appeal and fruiting potential. Its compact size and rewarding growth habits make it suitable for both beginners and experienced collectors.
You will receive one similar plant shown in the photos. Every plant is unique and will vary slightly in trunk shape, branching, height, and overall appearance.
Please note: This is a nursery-grown pre-bonsai and has not been fully styled. Wiring, trunk movement, and branching will vary from plant to plant.
⚠️ Add a heat pack at checkout if temperatures in your area fall below 40°F (4°C)
☀️ Lighting ☀️
The Acerola Cherry Bonsai prefers bright, filtered light or full morning sun. Outdoors, it does well with partial sun exposure; indoors, place it near a sunny window. To encourage flowering and fruiting, aim for at least 5–6 hours of light per day. Insufficient light may result in leggy growth and reduced blooming.
💧 Watering 💧
This bonsai enjoys consistent moisture but dislikes soggy roots. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. During hot months or when flowering/fruiting, you may need to water more frequently. Avoid overwatering, and always use a pot with good drainage. In drier indoor climates, misting the foliage can help with humidity.
🌥️Weather☀️
Acerola Cherry is a tropical/subtropical species and should be protected from cold. It thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 90°F (18°C to 32°C). Bring indoors when temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C). Keep away from drafts and sudden temperature changes indoors. If grown outside during warmer months, transition gradually to avoid shock.
