Small Dwarf Serissa Bonsai
🌱 This tree has found a home. Every Sacred Bamboo tree is a one-of-one piece of art — but its siblings below are still looking for theirs.
Care guide
- Species
- Serissa japonica (compact cultivar) (Dwarf Serissa)
- Light
- Brightest window you have — east-facing ideal, south-facing if very bright. Rotate weekly. Drops leaves quickly in low light.
- Water
- Most common failure point. Keep evenly moist — never soggy, never bone-dry. Indoors usually every 1–2 days; smaller pots dry fastest. Consistency beats any schedule.
- Soil
- Free-draining bonsai mix that holds a little moisture.
- Feed
- Balanced feed every 2 weeks in growing season; lighter in winter.
- Where
- Indoor 18–26°C; keep away from air-conditioners, heaters, and drafty windows. Hates temperature swings.
- Notes
- Smaller-leaved cultivar — refined look from day one. Care identical to standard serissa: white and purple star-shaped fragrant blooms, smells unpleasant when handled, dislikes being moved.
