Cotoneaster microphyllus ‘Thyminifolius’

Thyme Leaf Cotoneaster is a charming evergreen featuring tiny, glossy green leaves and bright red berries on gracefully arching branches. Its fine texture and compact habit make it a perfect addition to miniature-themed gardens, where its small-scale foliage and berries create a natural, woodland-like aesthetic.

This versatile plant is equally well-suited for rock gardens, borders, and containers, offering year-round interest. When grafted onto a 12” standard, its branches can be trained upright to resemble tiny trees, adding a unique and sculptural element to small garden spaces. Low-maintenance and visually striking, Thyme Leaf Cotoneaster is an excellent choice for creative and space-conscious gardeners.

Many perennials and bonsai plants take on a 'winter look' that's different from their summer appearance. The colder temperatures and shorter days trigger seasonal changes, which are actually part of their natural cycle. Some plants need this winter break to bloom and perform their best when the growing season returns. While they might look semi-dormant until early spring, these cosmetic changes don’t impact their health at all.

Bonsai Basic Care: Hard

Watering: Bonsais require careful watering. The frequency depends on the species and the climate, but generally, the soil should be kept slightly moist. Check the soil daily, and water thoroughly when the top layer feels dry.

Light: Most bonsai trees prefer bright, indirect light. A few hours of direct sunlight early in the morning or late in the afternoon is beneficial, but a direct midday sun can be harmful, especially in hotter climates.

Soil/Drainage: To prevent water retention and root rot, use a well-draining bonsai-specific soil mix.

Temperature/Humidity: Depending on the species, bonsai trees can be kept indoors or outdoors. Indoor bonsais generally prefer temperatures between 60-75°F and benefit from increased humidity, which can be achieved through daily misting or humidity trays.

Feeding: Fertilize your bonsai regularly during the growing season. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few weeks or as recommended for the specific type of tree.

Pruning/Training: Pruning is essential to maintaining the shape and health of a bonsai. Regular pruning of the roots and canopy is necessary. Training with wires can also shape branches and direct growth.

Repotting: Most bonsai trees require repotting every 2-5 years to prevent root crowding and replenish nutrients in the soil. This is best done in the spring.

General Tips: Regularly inspect for pests and diseases. Bonsai trees are susceptible to insect infestations and fungal infections, which should be treated promptly to keep the tree healthy.

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.

Works great.
Color: 7-in-1 Silver & Black/Beer Opener, Size: Rechargeable Set
Bottle opener works great and is easy to recharge. I removed one star because we are struggling with the included bottle stoppers. We can get them on the bottle but when we go to remove the device (that sucks the air out) often times -the stopper pulls out of the bottle. I really don’t like the stoppers. They seem very cheap. I will need to go on search for better quality stopper.
