Info: Carmona Microphylla, commonly known as the Fukien Tea Tree or Philippine Tea Tree, is a species native to the Southeast Asian region. The 'Ficus Heart Shaped' variant suggests a heart-shaped leaf structure. This plant, often utilized in bonsai due to its attractive bark, small leaves, and tiny white flowers, can serve both ornamental and practical purposes.

Plantation:

  1. Soil: Prefers well-draining soil, often a mix of sand, peat moss, and perlite.
  2. Location: It loves bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct afternoon sun as it may scorch the leaves.
  3. Spacing: If planting multiple trees, ensure a spacing of at least 3-4 feet apart.

Growing:

  1. Temperature: This plant thrives in temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid letting temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C).
  2. Water: Maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering in winter.
  3. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

Care:

  1. Pruning: Regular pruning will help maintain its shape, especially if you're aiming for a bonsai look.
  2. Pest Control: Watch out for pests like aphids, scale, and spider mites. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap as a natural solution.
  3. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years, or when you notice the roots becoming crowded.

Benefits:

  1. Ornamental: Its heart-shaped leaves, beautiful bark, and flowers make it a lovely addition to gardens and interiors.
  2. Air Purifying: Like many houseplants, Carmona Microphylla helps in improving indoor air quality.
  3. Bonsai Potential: One of its prime benefits is its high suitability for bonsai, allowing gardening enthusiasts to craft beautiful miniature landscapes.
