There's a lot of confusion about the term: "INDOOR BONSAI." Many improperly use this term for any tropical or imported Chinese bonsai but these need high-light greenhouses and are not houseplants! To differentiate, Fuku-Bonsai trademarked: "TRUE INDOOR BONSAI™" for our houseplant bonsai that can grow indoors throughout the year! Combine the interest and beauty of Hawaiian lava rock with a durable pre-trained houseplant, skillfully and efficiently grown by Fuku-Bonsai's hard-working staff in large quantities to the highest standards. The plants are pre-trained BEFORE they are rock planted. The rock restricts root systems to slow the growth. Fuku-Bonsai's Dwarf Schefflera Lava Plantings are the most successful easy-care gift items for anyone, anywhere who can grow houseplants! MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FUKU-BONSAI'S MOST POPULAR HAWAIIAN LAVA PLANTINGS (www.fukubonsai.com/2b2a.html) includes cultural information, do not over-water, fertilizing, and emergency first aid if you are having problems. DWARF SCHEFFLERA (Schefflera arboricola)
HAWAIIAN LAVA PLANTINGS are grown in four sizes: small (S), desk (D), medium (M), and large (L). Older larger sizes are the best values. Fuku-Bonsai has grown Hawaiian Lava Plantings since 1962. Give them a lot of light and thin out and remove oldest leaves. You will be able to enjoy the structure and light will reach the inner growth. If you have questions, we're just email or call by phone.
Our basic model is now "HAWAIIAN LAVA PLANTINGS (XG) with extra screened lava gravel but no display saucer. We are learning that our screened, porous lava gravel is the ideal size. The porous material holds just the right amount of moisture in almost all indoor conditions in homes and offices. It is superior to hard aquarium gravel or larger rounded river rocks that are less effective in holding humidity. This allows you to select your own display container. In very dry situations with interior heating or air conditioning, an incurved glass container is proving very easy-care as it acts like a semi-terrarium. Our most popular HS8(M) is available with a melamine display dish for a nice compact ideal gift. For more information, go to www.fukubonsai.com/2b2a9.html

 DWARF
SCHEFFLERA IS OUR SPECIALTY!
It is the most durable of all
proven houseplants and has the best bonsai traits. Our plants are
pre-trained before being planted into the lava rocks which restrict growth.
Care is simple. Saturate the entire rock planting in water for 30
minutes once per week, drain, and display on DRY gravel. White root
tips tell you all is okay. Black rotting roots indicate over-watering.
In hard water
areas, use distilled water to prevent
unsightly white deposits.
The photo is of Fukumoto grand daughter Nicole in 1987 when the
first Dwarf Schefflera small and desk size lava plantings were
introduced. Fuku-Bonsai had been growing and shipping
Dwarf Schefflera but only as medium and large size. Compare the
improved quality of the small and desk sizes that we now ship. We
tend to take sales photos when we introduce the item and ship higher
quality and guarantee satisfaction
and safe arrival. At times the quality that we ship is far above
the photo standard and we often get compliments but never any
complaints! Each bonsai is unique and we will continue to try to
ship highest quality products!
FERTILIZING: The major cause of first year plant problems are either over-watering (which rots the roots) or under-watering (which kills plants); or too much of the wrong kind of fertilizer (which burns the roots). The major cause of second, third, or fourth year problems is usually because the plant was never fertilized. We incorporate ultra slow-release fertilizer so the plant will grow well for two or more years without fertilizing but eventually it runs out and the plant steadily goes downhill. Fertilizing with the wrong kind of fertilizer when the plants are in poor condition often causes "over-fertilizing" problems.
COLD OR OTHER DAMAGE:
Each January and February we get emails that plants look droopy
and suffering. This is very often because the tropical plants
were exposed to drafts or temperatures below 55°. Some
office buildings in cold climates may not be heated over the
weekend. If you have problems, take a photo and send
with an email with as much information and as soon as possible.
We'll try to help.
