Ficus carmona, commonly known as the Carmona Bonsai or Fukien Tea Tree, is a captivating evergreen bonsai celebrated for its glossy foliage, elegant trunk structure, and year-round visual interest. Native to Southeast Asia and parts of China, this bonsai species is a favourite among enthusiasts for its refined appearance and forgiving nature once established.

Its small, oval, deep-green leaves have a glossy surface with fine white speckling, creating a delicate, textured look. The tree often produces tiny white flowers throughout the year, which may develop into small red berries, adding an extra layer of charm and contrast. Its bark is naturally gnarled and aged-looking, giving even young specimens the appearance of maturity and strength.

Perfect for both beginners and experienced growers, the Ficus carmona (Retusa) Bonsai combines elegance, tradition, and resilience — a living sculpture that captures the timeless beauty of nature in miniature form.


Ficus carmona (Retusa) – Care Guide

Light

Prefers bright, indirect light and benefits from a few hours of morning or late afternoon sun. Too little light can cause leggy growth and sparse foliage, while intense midday sun can scorch the leaves. A bright windowsill or conservatory is ideal. In low-light conditions, consider supplementing with a grow light.

Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the root ball dry out completely. Use room-temperature water and ensure good drainage, as the Carmona is sensitive to overwatering. In winter, reduce watering frequency but maintain light moisture.

Temperature and Humidity

Temperature: Thrives between 18–28 °C and should be protected from temperatures below 15 °C. Avoid sudden drafts or changes in temperature.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Mist regularly, especially during dry indoor months or when using central heating.

Soil and Potting

Use a free-draining bonsai mix containing akadama, pumice, and fine bark. This ensures excellent aeration and prevents root rot. Repot every 2–3 years in late spring to early summer, trimming up to one-third of the roots if necessary. Always repot into a shallow bonsai pot with good drainage holes.

Feeding

Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring through autumn) with a balanced liquid bonsai fertiliser. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows. Alternate between organic and liquid fertilisers for best results.

Pruning and Maintenance

Regular pruning maintains the tree’s compact shape and encourages branching. Trim new shoots back to 2–3 leaves once they have developed 6–8 leaves. Major structural pruning is best done in late spring. Pinch off any large leaves to maintain the fine, delicate appearance typical of bonsai. Clean the leaves occasionally to remove dust and promote photosynthesis.

Growth and Maturity

A slow to moderate grower, Ficus carmona develops a thick, gnarled trunk with time, enhancing its aged aesthetic. With proper care, it can live for decades, continually refining its character and form. The plant can flower multiple times a year, producing small white blooms and bright red berries.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leaf drop: Sudden change in light or temperature.

  • Pale leaves: Nutrient deficiency or insufficient light.

  • Pests: Occasionally affected by scale or whitefly — treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

The Carmona, or Fukien Tea Tree, has been cultivated for centuries in China and Japan as a symbol of wisdom, patience, and balance. Named after the Fujian province in China, it was traditionally grown indoors as a meditation companion, admired for its miniature proportions and natural elegance.

As a bonsai, Ficus carmona offers both beauty and mindfulness — encouraging regular observation and gentle care. It also purifies indoor air, contributing to a calm, serene environment.

    Doesn’t take all the fan off. Leaves blotchy
    Doesn’t get the tan off all the way and I’ve used it 4 times now. It makes the tan blotchy and uneven (yes I know that’s what happens when the tan is going away but like I said I’ve used it 4 times and it hasn’t made much difference. A regular exfoliant works better) I used the same brand tanner as well so not sure why it’s not working. Bummed tho!

    What a find!
    Color: PDRN 25%
    Good stuff! My skin healed ULTRA fast with this!! I can really tell it is good stuff! Plus, it has that “bio” smell that means it’s real. The formula is a little oily as opposed to watery. Just FYI I think serum slightly thicker is better.

    Oopsy Daisy, bad for not reading directions!
    Color: PDRN 25%
    Oops 😬, I forgot to mix this PDRN serum with my hyaluronic serum before applying on my skin. Instead I have been applying it directly on my face 2x daily. I have noticed major improvement on my skin. My skin is dewy, bright, and flawless. Fortunately, I did not experience any skin reactions the undiluted product. I will come back and stock up on these bottles to mix with hyaluronic serum for microneedling.

    The Skin Regenerator Your Routine Is Missing
    Color: PDRN 25%
    If you've been dealing with dull, dehydrated skin or feel like your usual creams just aren't cutting it anymore, the Salmon DNA PDRN 250,000 ppm Concentrate might be the missing piece. I started using this booster three months ago, and it has genuinely transformed the texture and bounce of my skin. What problem does this solve? As we age or expose our skin to environmental stress, our natural cell regeneration slows down, leading to dullness, loss of firmness, fine lines, and a damaged moisture barrier. This PDRN concentrate essentially acts as a cellular "wake-up call." Salmon DNA shares a remarkably high biocompatibility with human skin, helping to repair DNA damage, reignite collagen production, and speed up the skin's natural healing process. Features & Benefits · Regenerative Power: Packed with 25% (250,000 ppm) PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) to repair and rejuvenate. · Wrinkle & Texture Refinement: Helps improve elasticity and reduce fine lines for smoother, more resilient skin. · Hydration & Barrier Support: Formulated with Sodium DNA and Panthenol to deeply replenish moisture and soothe sensitivity. · Booster Format: A versatile concentrate you mix with your moisturizer or serum to amplify your entire routine. · Enhanced Complex: Includes EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) and Peptides for added collagen support. Pros · ✅ High concentration of active ingredients for noticeable results. · ✅ Excellent for post-procedure skin (non-irritating after microneedling). · ✅ Improves overall skin health, not just surface appearance. · ✅ Suitable for all skin types looking for anti-aging or hydration. Cons · ❌ Texture can be sticky – it leaves a slight residue on your fingers and face that takes a few minutes to absorb. · ❌ Requires consistency – results are not instantaneous and need regular use to build. · ❌ The concept of "salmon DNA" might feel unusual to some, though it's highly effective and dermatologist-backed. Final Verdict This isn't a quick-fix product, but if you stick with it, the reward is skin that looks plumper, healthier, and more resilient. It’s like sending your skin into a repair shop. Best for anyone who has hit a plateau with their current anti-aging routine or who wants to actively strengthen their skin's foundation.
