Camellia Sinensis (Tsubaki) Oil

Why Every Bonsai Artist Needs Camellia Oil:

  • Acid-Free Protection:  Unlike many household oils, Camellia oil is chemically neutral. It won't react with the metal or cause discoloration on the wood handles of your tools.
  • Non-Drying & Non-Sticky:  It provides a thin, protective film that stays liquid longer than mineral oils, ensuring your shears don't "gum up" during storage.
  • Bonsai Safe:  Since it is a plant-based oil, any residue that transfers to the tree during pruning is completely harmless to the plant's vascular system.
  • Rust Dissolver:  When used with a Sabitoru (Rust Eraser), Camellia oil acts as a lubricant to lift existing oxidation without scratching the steel.

Tool Care Guide:

  • Clean:  Wipe away any sap or dirt using a damp cloth.

  • Dry:  Ensure the tool is completely dry to prevent trapping moisture under the oil.

  • Apply: Place 2–3 drops of Camellia Oil on a clean rag or applicator.

  • Coat:  Rub a thin, even layer over all metal surfaces, including the pivot point of the shears.

  • Store:  Place in a tool roll or dry area.
