Bonsai Starter Kit – 1x Jacaranda Bonsai Tree | Complete Indoor Starter Kit for Growing Plants with Tools & Planters – Gardening Gifts for Women & Men

I bought the *Bonsai Starter Kit* and I absolutely loved it! It’s a complete kit, with everything you need to start growing your bonsai trees, from the tools to the planters. The growing process is very relaxing and enjoyable. The tools are of excellent quality, making plant care much easier.I highly recommend it for anyone looking to start with bonsai, and it also makes a perfect gift for anyone who loves gardening!

So the kit itself is good. No complaints there.The seeds are great. Germinated in about 2+ weeks with only a couple exceptions.They give you a TON of seeds and of the 16 seeds that I started, 12 have germinated so far (started on 3/25/2025 and it is currently 4/11/2025).I didn't even use all the seeds yet. I still have about 8 more in the fridge that are cold strating and the supplemental pack included in the kit in case these were a bust.Definitely worth the price of the kit for the seeds alone.The grow medium disk will handle about 4 of the seeds. Used Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Mix of the seeding trays, fyi.

I had high hopes for this product, especially after spending 20 years in the nursery business. Bonsai has always been a relaxing hobby for me, but this kit was disappointing from the start. The materials felt cheap, and the overall quality was lacking. I followed the instructions carefully, but the seeds never sprouted. I gave it another shot with a second set, and within three days, the container cracked, spilling coco coir everywhere. Unfortunately, this was a letdown—wouldn’t recommend.

I’m really torn. 1. I thought I was buying an actual plant. I have GOT to read more carefully! 2. A lot of seeds are sent. So, I’ve had success twice, but then things went wrong (not the plants’ fault.) It is VERY EXCITING when one of the seeds begins to shoot up!!This last time I planted seeds, no luck, nothing sprouted. Going to plant another round of seeds next week.The instructions were great, BUT they disappeared and I could not find replacement instructions from the company anywhere. That was very frustrating.It came with plenty of dirt and 2 pots. If you zoom in to the bottom right pot, the first shoot to grow is visible.I’m determined to grow one into adulthood!

The kit is well put together, with seeds, soil, and detailed instructions. The seeds did germinate, but it was a slow process, so if you’re expecting a bonsai tree quickly, you’ll need patience. The materials are of good quality, and it’s a great kit for anyone wanting to learn how to grow bonsai from scratch.However, it would be nice if it included a small pot to make the initial planting easier.

This Bonsai kit comes with everything you need to get started with this really cool project! I love the thoughtfulness of extra seeds and the little tools. My kids and I just started this, so I will post an update of how the tree grows. Can’t wait!

Ok! Let me be clear about this. This is the story of trying to grow these seeds into saplings and how it is way harder than it looks.I followed the little booklet, jotting down my journey in a notebook. I will say the pot given... Exploded. It does not handle moisture well, so I had to plant the seeds in a seedling tray.On day 13, I noticed activity and saw sprouting on day 14. From 14 onwards, I watched these three sprouts and watered them when the soil got dry.HOWEVER! My first mistake was moving the seedlings to different pods. On day 25, I noticed some wilting on two and they ended up drying after I pulled them out to see if it was root rot. The last one was also wilting and today, day 31, I accidentally knocked it with my hand and it broke in half.I will try again by soaking new seeds but this is not very beginner-friendly. Yes you can get seeds to sprout but there isn't much info on what to do next once you do.Also the booklet failed to mention other facts like it takes a year for the sprouts to be ready to be replanted into an actual bonsai pot and it takes 3 years before you can start shaping them. A lot of missing information is left out and I highly encourage others to do their research before jumping into this.To the sellers, please going forward, provide the customers with information that is important to cultivating their future bonsai trees.

The instructions that came with this kit are amazing. Walking you through every step. I could tell just by the high quality of that, that I had made a great purchase. Every seed I have planted has sprouted. No issues. I did put my pot on a plant heating pad to try and keep the dirt warm, and I think the heat split the pot. I don’t even care about that, I’m just so elated that all the seeds sprouted! Can’t wait to see all my little plants grow up!!
