Mandarin (ligustrum sinense) is an indoor, evergreen bonsai with small, oval-shaped leaves that have smooth edges. They start bright green when young and mature to a deeper, glossy green.
This particular tree stands approximately 41cm tall and is elegantly presented in a green oval ceramic bonsai pot measuring 12cm depth and 22cm width. Its compact size and graceful shape make it perfect for desks, windowsills, or shelves adding a calming, natural aesthetic to any space.

The Mandarin is an indoor bonsai and can only be kept outside in warm temperatures. Place your bonsai in a bright spot with indirect sunlight. It thrives in warm climates around 20 °C. Choose a cool room away from direct heat sources like central heating
Watering
No strict schedule, watering needs vary based on climate, soil, airflow, and pot size.
We recommend using the submersion method, which we’ve detailed on our Best Way to Water a Bonsai Tree blog post.
Feeding
Feed weekly or fortnightly from March to October with Chrysal Liquid Bonsai Feed (2 ml per litre of water). Add directly to the water during submersion.
Regular pruning keeps your bonsai healthy, compact, and aesthetically pleasing. During the growing season (March–September), trim back new shoots once they grow beyond 3-4 leaves, leaving the two closest leaves intact.
Wiring is best done during late autumn, when the tree’s growth naturally slows. Use wire that is approximately the same thickness as the branch. This helps gently shape and refine your bonsai’s structure over time.
