This one-of-a-kind tree stands apart from the rest. What you see in the photos are what you get, and there will never be another one like it.
I’m Guchi, the Chinese Perfume Tree and native to Southeast Asia. I'm known for my fragrant yellow flowers that are sweet and slightly lemon scented. My flowers can be dried and used in small bud vases or added to cupboards for an additional fresh scent. I am a forest style bonsai planting of three individual trees in one.
I’m shade tolerant but prefer bright indirect light. I'm a beginner-friendly starter bonsai because I tolerate some drought and am very forgiving. The best way to water me is to submerge my pot in water up to the rim for 5 minutes about once every 2-3 days, more often when very hot or dry, or when my pot feels 1/2 lighter. Allow me to drain thoroughly before setting me down.
Symbolism: My plant genus, Aglaia, is the namesake of one of the Three Graces in Greek Mythology. The Graces were symbols of charm and beauty and associated with the goddess of love. In Feng Shui, I'm auspicious for my Wood element and subtle fragrance, believed to attract abundance and good fortune. Coupled with its Chi, 'Zhen,' the Perfume Tree is a potent symbol for the fulfillment of one's potential and the initiation of new life cycles.
