This Carmona macrophylla (tea plant) bonsai, belonging to the evergreen indoor variety, is prized for the small, star-shaped white flowers it produces in spring and summer. Its foliage, with glossy, compact leaves, gives it a refined appearance. The overall appearance of the plant is harmonious, with a beautiful balance between the sinuous ‘S’-shaped trunk, the branches and the pot. Grown in an oval, olive-green glazed stoneware pot, it creates a chromatic balance that highlights the glossy foliage without detracting from the bonsai’s form, whilst the oval shape emphasises the stability of the nebari and the overall delicacy of the composition.
From fall to spring, when the temperature drops below 13°-15°C, place the bonsai indoors less than 1 meter from a window, unshielded by curtains. From spring to fall, place it outdoors in partial shade.
Always respect the dry and wet cycles: whenever the soil feels dry to the touch, water abundantly. Then wait for the soil to dry before watering again in the same way.
