Native to Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan and Australia, the Fukien Tea bonsai tree is a tropical tree that thrives in warm areas. In China, they are used in both bonsai and Penjing displays. In the West, they are popular as indoor Bonsai trees due to their small size and need for constant humidity.

Care Guide

Light

This plant will thrive in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid lighting extremes, such as direct sun and dark corners. Direct sunlight can burn these plants, causing damage to the foliage.

Water and Soil

Fukien Tea likes to be kept evenly moist. These plants do not like their soil to dry out, and like most all plants, are susceptible to root rot if their soil remains too wet or soggy. This plant should be watered once the top layer of the soil becomes dry. Amending a standard well-draining potting soil with peat moss will help to keep your plants roots evenly moist, while the addition of perlite will ensure that proper drainage and root aeration are provided.

Temperature and Humidity

This plant prefers room temperatures between 60 degrees F and 85 degrees F. Temperatures shouldn’t drop below 60 degrees as this could damage the foliage. Cold, drafty areas should be avoided. This plant prefers moderate to high humidity levels. If your home is on the drier side, misting the plant a few times a week will provide humidity.
