About the Shari Feature
Shari refers to an area of exposed, barkless wood on the trunk. This artistic feature is traditionally created to reflect the natural effects of age and weather, such as lightning, wind, or environmental stress. It enhances character, visual interest, and the sense of maturity within the tree.
We take pride in offering only high-quality, healthy bonsai. Most of our trees are raised and maintained by hand, with individual daily care to ensure long-term vitality and beauty.
Bonsai are more than decorative plants — they offer a calming, mindful experience. Caring for a bonsai can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and provide many years of enjoyment. Over time, your bonsai becomes a deeply personal and rewarding companion.
Symbolism of Bonsai
Bonsai trees traditionally represent balance, harmony, peace, luck, and fortune. When given as a gift, they symbolise friendship, love, loyalty, and respect.

- Bonsai plants belong outside to soak up the sun and fresh air. If you require your bonsai inside, please research growing lamps.
- Water your bonsai every day in the summer and every other day in the cooler months. Monitor your bonsai every day as these requirements may change depending on location and species.
- We use tweezers for aerating the soil and roots when potting/repotting
- We use high quality Carbon Steel Pruning Scissors so we don’t hurt or damage the bonsai while pruning and designing.
- We use free draining bonsai medium soil so the roots don’t rot.
- Research your bonsai plant species to find the best location, sun duration/shade and watering requirements for your area/location in Australia.
- If you have purchased a bonsai that has shaping wire, its recommended to carefully take off the wire 1-2 months after buying your plant.
- Figs can live indoors if they are given enough bright light and fresh air. Next to a large open window is best. Make your bonsai a striking indoor feature.
- Figs love living outdoors in shade or part shade/sun areas.
