    Fukien Tea Bonsai House Plant - I Wonder if Mr. Miyagi Would Approve?

    Mr. Miyagi - Bonsai House Plants - Karate Kid Movie Who doesn’t remember the Karate Kid with Ralph Macchio? Granted I am a child of the 80’s but even you 1990’s kids know about “wax on, wax off” and the how Mr. Miyagi lovingly cared for bonsai trees!

    Well I came across the Fukien Tea Bonsai house plant I felt the need to blog about it for three reasons:

    Reason 1: The name cracks me up, how do you pronounce that exactly? Ha!

    Reason 2: It reminded me of the Karate Kid and Mr. Miyagi’s awesome “chopstick-fly-catching skills”

    Reason 3: I actually think bonsai plants are quite lovely and have always wanted one myself

    Discount House Plants - Fukien Bonsai Tree

    Native to Southern China, the Fukien tea tree has shiny, dark-green leaves and a contrasting silvery green trunk. An evergreen tropical plant, it blooms with tiny white flowers in spring and summer. These slightly perfumed blooms are followed by tiny berries that occasionally ripen from deep green to bright red.

    Hello awesome! It’s like having a tiny plot of mythical China in your home.

    The Fukien Tea Bonsai costs $54 dollars.

    The key to all great cooking is the freshest ingredients! So why not grow your own herbs on your kitchen counter top? This Italian Herb Garden that is sold exclusively at Red Envelope features basil, oregano and chives. It would make a delicious gift for friends and family who would appreciate the use of fresh herbs in their culinary delights.

    This sweet deal also includes 3 glazed ceramic containers decorated with herb illustrations and premium seeds and soil. Honestly they couldn’t have made it any easier for us, if they slowly S-P-E-L-L-E-D it out. Oh wait a minute it comes with step by step instructions! I am officially all out of excuses.

    Retails for $29.00
