Presentation

Indoor bonsai of around 6 years, available in three varieties: Zelkova parvifolia (Chinese elm), Sageretia theezans and Ficus retusa. The plant grows in a plastic growing pot set inside a decorative pot holder without a drainage hole, a solution that prevents water from spilling onto the surface below.

How to care for it

Place the bonsai in a very bright spot, near a window but without prolonged direct sun during the central hours of the day, especially from June to August. Since the pot holder has no drainage hole, pour the water slowly and in small amounts: the soil should be kept moist, never soggy, checking every 2-3 days in summer and less frequently in winter.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is the plant I receive the one in the photo?

A: No. As this is a wedding favour produced in series, the photo is indicative and shows a representative specimen. You will receive a plant of the same variety and style, with identical pot and pot holder dimensions, but the shape of the trunk and canopy varies from specimen to specimen.

Q: Can I choose the variety and the pot holder?

A: Three varieties are available: Zelkova parvifolia, Sageretia theezans and Ficus retusa. The pot holder can be grey ceramic with a Japanese wave motif or burnished terracotta. Simply indicate your preferences for species and model when ordering, subject to current availability.

Q: Should it be kept indoors or outdoors?

A: It is designed for indoor settings: apartments, offices, reception halls. In spring and summer it can also stay outdoors in a sheltered position, provided it is protected from direct sun during the hottest hours. In winter it should be brought back inside, away from radiators and cold draughts.
