I ordered an artificial bonsai for my son who fails to keep real plants alive. It arrived in time and was so beautifully packaged I did think for a moment that I'd made a mistake and bought a real one! He is delighted with it. I wouldn't hesitate to order again.

I ordered a Kentia Palm from Oxy-Plants. I chose Oxy because they were by fair the best value for money and the most efficient in processing and delivering my new plant baby. I ordered on the Thursday and it arrives on the Monday.I was half expecting the plant to be dehydrated or lost its zest for life. HOWEVER, I couldn't have been more wrong; dark healthy green leaves, beautiful shape to the body of the plant and all planted in a fairly moist post of potting compost.Wrll done Oxy, you've got a customer for life in me now! 😁

Very quick with responding to any problems, plants arrived healthy and well packed, unfortunately one large pot was broken in transit, but this was very quickly sorted out by Marika and a new pot sent out, I would highly recommend oxy plants.

It's the first time that I shopped for indoor plants at Oxy-Plants and I'm thrilled with my purchase . Both the money tree and kentia palm arrived in a huge box, very well packed. They even arranged the delivery for my preferred day. The plants look strong and healthy and they were very well priced as well. Highly recommend this very friendly small business!

How To Care For Chinese Pepper Bonsai Tree

This indoor houseplant loves to be in moist soil. When its looks in need of a drink, be sure to give it a good watering. Every couple of days (during the summer months) should do. In colder months, reduce the amount of watering to weekly (perhaps, even bi-weekly).

The Chinese Pepper loves a warm climate that is sheltered from the wind. From Autumn to Winter, place this indoor houseplant in a sunny spot away from any draughts. In the Spring and Summer months, move it out of any direct sunlight as you won’t want its leaves getting scorched!

This bonsai tree loves an occasional misting. As it’s native to the subtropics of Asia, it’s definitely built to withstand a bit of rain. If you’re giving your bonsai a mist, be sure to give the leaves a wipe as well. This will help to remove any build up of dust and maximise photosynthesis!

Whilst bonsai’s love a drink, they hate sitting in standing water. As such, be sure to place your bonsai in a well-draining soil, with plenty of structure to it. Perlite, Vermiculite, or Pumice can certainly be your best friend here!

 

 

Your safest bet with any bonsai tree is to use a bonsai-specific fertiliser. Have you tried Baby Bio Bonsai Food? This helps maximise the nutrients your bonsai needs for sturdy roots, a girthy trunk, and a beautiful foliage.

If using fertiliser is new to you, read our “How to Fertilise Your Houseplant” page. This is still relevant for bonsai lovers as well!

Bonsais are not particularly susceptible to pests and diseases. However, in the winter months, be sure to keep an eye out for Spider Mites. If your bonsai does become affected, be sure to purchase some of our neem oil!

If you think your plant is suffering from a pest or disease, take a look at our Pests and Infections page!

Bonsai’s will naturally grow to the size of their enclosure. If you do not wish for your bonsai to grow, don’t repot. However, if you’re wanting to re-pot, check your bonsai’s roots bi-yearly. If they’ve reached the bottom of your plant pot, then it is time to re-pot!

Wondering how to repot your bonsai tree? Take a look at our repotting guide. It has all the information you’ll need!

About Chinese Pepper Bonsai Tree

Native to the subtropical regions of East Asia (China, Korea, & the Himalayas), the Chinese Pepper Bonsai (Xanthoxylum Piperitum) is a perfect tree to begin your bonsai journey! Literally translating to “tree in a tray”, a Bonsai is not a houseplant, but a symbol of an entire philosophy. Maintaining a bonsai quickly becomes a way of life, helping teach its owner the value of discipline, care, and aesthetics.

If you love houseplants that bloom in the summer months, then this bonsai may be for you. Not only does the Chinese Pepper Bonsai bloom beautiful yellow flowers, but it also produces dark spiced fruit in more mature trees. Whilst this isn’t the quite the pepper you would season your food with, it is this fruit that gives it the “Chinese Pepper” and “Sichuan” name.

As with any bonsai tree, the Chinese Pepper will really reward an owner who knows the value of pruning. If this is your first time buying a bonsai, make sure you own a watering can, wire, and some secateurs. These will help you when it comes to training and pruning your bonsai. Furthermore, if you’re a novice at bonsai care have a look at our “Bonsai Care Essentials” article. It’s a great place to start!chinese pepper bonsai tree indoor uk
