Looking for a unique and calming plant for your indoor space? The Zelkova serrata, also known as Japanese Zelkova, is a classic deciduous tree revered for centuries in the art of bonsai. This specimen boasts the coveted S-shaped silhouette, meticulously guided using traditional horticultural techniques for a graceful, artistic form.

Why Choose This Plant?

• Natural Beauty: Medium-green, finely toothed leaves and a shapely trunk provide year-round interest.
• Elegant Look: Pairs beautifully with moss, small pebbles, or other shade-loving houseplants such as ferns or peace lilies for a harmonious display.
• Age & Craftsmanship: Each bonsai is approximately five years old-enough time to develop character and durability indoors.
• Low-Maintenance: Thanks to its built-in watering system, this bonsai is easy to care for-simply water when the soil surface begins to dry.
• Space-Smart: Averaging 20-30cm tall in a 15cm or 20cm ceramic pot, it’s sized for desks, shelves, and window sills.

Growing Guide

• Light: Place in a bright, well-lit area with plenty of indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch leaves.
• Water: Water thoroughly when soil begins to dry-but don’t overwater. Allow water to drain freely to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Thrives in typical indoor temperatures; protect from cold draughts and excessive heat.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity-mist leaves lightly during drier months for best results.

Planting & Care Tips

• Feeding: Use a balanced, diluted fertiliser once a month during spring and summer for optimal growth.
• Pruning: Maintain its signature S-shape by trimming shoots that extend beyond the desired outline. Remove any upward or downward-growing shoots for structure and health.
• Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in early spring using free-draining bonsai soil.

FAQs
