Bring a constellation of blossoms into your home. This Serissa Japonica, affectionately known as the "Tree of a Thousand Stars," is a stunning 8-year-old specimen standing 12 inches tall. This particular tree has been expertly trained with Raised Roots, an artistic bonsai style that showcases a dramatic, exposed root system, giving the tree a look of ancient, weathered endurance.
A Galaxy of Flowers: Native to northern China, the Serissa is famous for its prolific, small white trumpet-shaped blossoms. When in full bloom, the canopy appears as if covered in a thousand tiny stars.
Refined Foliage: The Japonica variety features beautiful, elongated spoon-shaped leaves with a shiny green finish. The foliage is dense and "twiggy," naturally growing tighter and more refined with regular shearing.
Raised Root (Neagari) Artistry: This tree is not just a plant, but a living sculpture. The elevated root structure provides a sense of vertical movement and age, making it a sophisticated conversation piece for any interior.
Lush Upright Canopy: Trained into a pleasing, full upright shape, the canopy creates a balanced silhouette that thrives in indoor environments.
Placement: Excellent Indoor Choice. Place in a bright location with indirect sunlight. Serissa loves the heat and thrives in consistent indoor temperatures; keep away from cold drafts or direct heating vents.
Watering: Never let the soil dry out completely. Serissa prefers to be kept consistently moist. Water thoroughly when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry to the touch.
Humidity: As a tropical native, it appreciates humidity. Placing the tree on a humidity tray or providing occasional misting will keep the foliage glossy and encourage frequent flowering.
Maintenance: This species grows tighter and more beautiful with shearing. Simply trim back new growth to maintain the refined upright canopy. Use a balanced indoor plant food once a month during the growing season.
