    Here are the proper care instructions

    FUKIEN TEA BONSAI

    BONSAI IS THE BLENDING OF ART AND NATURE

    The word Bonsai means “Little Trees In Pots”. Contrary to popular belief, the art of bonsai
    originated in China
    and was later refined in Japan. The western world has adopted this art to
    their lifestyles. Bonsai has become
    extremely popular and is recognized as an international art form.

    Indoor bonsai are tropical plants that are adaptable to
    indoor conditions. All indoor bonsai
    grow best in sunny areas. For best
    results, place your indoor bonsai near windows facing southeast or west. If you do not have a place for your tree to
    receive adequate sunlight, we recommend using a grow light (10 to 12 hours per
    day). In warm weather, all indoor trees
    grow best outside. Never allow your
    indoor bonsai to freeze.

    WATERING PROPERLY IS
    CRITICAL TO MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BONSAI
    !

    Your Fukien Tea Bonsai should be watered thoroughly every
    two or three days. Never let a bonsai
    totally dry out.

    Water your bonsai properly by using a watering can or hose
    attachment that has a fine-spray end.
    You should thoroughly soak your bonsai’s soil. Water should be running out of the drain
    holes. Misting foliage periodically is
    recommended, but, should not be considered watering.

    General care is also important to maintaining a beautiful
    bonsai. Bonsai should be periodically
    trimmed to keep their miniature shape.
    To best understand trimming and wiring techniques, we recommend
    purchasing an instructional book.

    FERTILIZING

    Fertilizing your Fukien Tea Bonsai is required. Most water-soluble and time released
    fertilizers work very well when used as directed.

    INSECTS AND DISEASES

    Insects and diseases can attack your Fukien Tea Bonsai just
    like any other plant. Inspect your
    bonsai regularly. A brisk spraying of the
    trunk and foliage will periodically help keep your tree clean. If any problems appear, most garden centers
    have products available for treatment.
