Choose Your Bonsai Species
– Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia)
The Chinese Elm is a much-loved beginner’s bonsai thanks to its forgiving nature and dependable growth. It features a naturally twisty trunk, neat branching and rich green serrated leaves that stay in leaf indoors all year. Its woodland-style proportions make it one of the closest representations of a full-sized tree, just in miniature. Tough, adaptable and always attractive, it remains one of the UK’s favourite indoor bonsai varieties.
– Fukien Tea Tree (Carmona microphylla)
Alternatively, you can choose the beautifully ornamental Fukien Tea Tree. This variety is admired for its glossy deep-green leaves, fine branching and delicate white flowers that appear through the warmer months. The Carmona brings a softer, slightly more decorative character, with a gentle trunk flow and refined structure. It prefers a warm room and rewards steady care with flowers and delightful year-round interest.
