Fukien Tea Zen Bonsai

Fukien Tea Zen 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 southern or eastern. 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.
