About this Chinese Flowering White Serissa of a Thousand Stars Bonsai, Trained, 18 Years Old, 18 Inches Tall
Serissa japonica, 18 years old and trained, at 11 by 10 inches and 18 inches tall. The species is called the tree of a thousand stars for the quantity of small white trumpet-shaped flowers it carries, and this is the northern Chinese form. Its leaves are shiny, green and slightly elongated into a spoon shape, while the branch structure is naturally twiggy and tightens further each time it is sheared. Serissa is grown as an indoor bonsai and does best with steady conditions of light, temperature and moisture rather than frequent relocation.
Serissa / Snow Rose bonsai care
This is a living Serissa / Snow Rose (Serissa japonica). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Indoor (or outdoors in warm seasons/climates). Frost-tender; keep 50–68°F. Despises being moved
- Light
- Bright light — high light gives more flowers; bright indirect indoors, tolerates some sun
- Water
- Moist but well-drained — a narrow middle. Hates wet roots AND hates drying out completely
- USDA zones
- 9–11 (frost-tender; outdoors year-round only in warm, frost-free zones)
- #1 cause of death
- Improper watering (over- or under-watering) → root rot or stress death; plus shock leaf-drop from any change
