# Can anyone help me identify this bonsai plant. I’m not having any…

_Posted by Help with bonsai on 2025-12-09_

Can anyone help me identify this bonsai plant. I’m not having any success within the app or google and I want to make sure I can take care of it properly. I got it at my local Lowe’s store a little over a week ago, I currently have it located in my living room window with the blinds infront of it so it gets partial sunlight, partial shade. I’ve only watered it twice since I’ve had it and the leaves are falling all around it. Here’s a photo the day I got it, and here’s a photo of it currently.

Not sure if you’ve got your answer yet or not, but this is a Fukien Tea. They make for great bonsai, and do just fine indoors. I have mine under a grow light for about 12 hours a day, and water when the soil is dry. I will say, they can be a bit moody if their environment changes and drop leaves, though bounce back quickly enough.
