Large Indoor Bonsai Starter Kit – Mature 16-Year-Old Tree | Choose Chinese Elm or Fukien Tea Tree
This beautifully presented large indoor bonsai kit allows you to choose between two much-loved species: a mature 16-year-old Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) or an elegant 16-year-old Fukien Tea Tree (Carmona microphylla). Each tree has been shaped slowly over many years to form natural trunk movement, refined branching and neat, compact foliage pads. Whichever option you choose, this kit offers an impressive, easy-care bonsai that brings presence, charm and character into any home.
Both species arrive as part of a complete beginners kit, giving you all the tools and guidance needed to enjoy your new bonsai from day one. Whether you’re buying for yourself or gifting someone special, this set turns bonsai ownership into a relaxing, rewarding experience.
Choose Your Bonsai Species
– Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia)
The Chinese Elm is one of the most popular indoor bonsai varieties thanks to its forgiving nature and miniature woodland appearance. It features a naturally twisty s-shaped trunk, rich green serrated leaves and a balanced canopy. Indoors, it stays evergreen and grows steadily throughout the year, making it a wonderful choice for beginners who want reliability and beauty in equal measure.
– Fukien Tea Tree (Carmona microphylla)
The Fukien Tea Tree is loved for its glossy leaves, artistic trunk movement and delicate white summer flowers. It brings a slightly more ornamental look, with pretty blooms and a smooth-textured trunk. This species grows happily indoors in a warm, bright room and rewards its owner with flowers, character and year-round interest.

Why This Large Bonsai Kit Stands Out
These mature bonsai display an instant visual impact, yet remain straightforward to care for. They suit beginners who want something impressive but manageable, and they brings a sense of calm, artistry and natural beauty to any indoor space. Whether you choose the Chinese Elm or Fukien Tea Tree, you’ll receive a refined, characterful bonsai with real presence.
Please note: The photo is generic. Your bonsai will be very similar in size and style, with its own natural character.
