Fukien Tea makes an excellent indoor bonsai. They produce tiny white flowers, and the
small leaf variety (Carmona Microphylla) makes small berries (shown above) which start out green, and turn
from amber to orange to red to deep purple. They do well indoors, but should be kept outdoors in the sun when
the temperature is above 60. They like a lot of light, but avoid direct mid-day sun in the
middle of summer. Watch out for aphids. They love the tender new growth at the tips
of the branches. While it's not good to let the soil dry out, the roots will begin to rot if they
are too wet for too long, so make sure the bottom of the pot is not in water except for the normal 15 minute
watering. |
