Japanese Red MapleRed Maple is the one of the most used deciduous tree species when designing gardens thanks to their special features. Slow growth allows for controlling the volume of the tree throughout its life, supports pruning well and retains its typical umbrella shape. It grows into an Umbrella shape which gives an incredible aesthetic effect in any household. Its silhouette is easily recognisable and stands out from other plants. | WisteriaThe wisteria (also spelled wistaria) is an excellent outdoor choice for bonsai, and one that adds a unique fragrance to your Bonsai tree collection! As a deciduous climber, the wisteria tree remains relatively free of pests and disease and can develop thick trunks very quickly. The purple blossoms which engulf the tree each year is sure to catch everyones eyes. | Japanese Black PineJapanese Black Pine is a classic species of tree to used for Bonsai purposes, but also very popular in Japan. Pinus species that have short needles which are most suitable to grow Bonsai from. Black Pines are very tolerant of poor conditions, surviving in nature on nutrient-lacking soils. The tree has thick needles up to 12cm (4’’) long, which can be shortened by regular pinching. | Judas TreeCercis siliquastrum, commonly known as the Judas tree or Judas tree, is a small deciduous tree from Southern Europe and Western Asia which is noted for its prolific display of deep pink owners in spring. There is a long-standing myth that Judas Iscariot hanged himself from a tree of this species. |

So I’ve only really got into plants and growing etc, I have yet never tried growing from seed, I’ve only ordered it a few days ago and it came really fast, so can’t tell you I’ve had success as yet, but the instructions were easy to follow, and I’ve already planted my first type of seeds( you do get a load of seeds and two types free) but so far, everything has been easy, just hope that in a few yrs time I have a tree
Its a great box dont get me wrong, there are just few things to be improved. THere are a few more free seeds in addition to the ones included which is great. On the other hand there is not enough growing material like soil and pots. You should get more separately or try to be inventive and make them at home. Also instructions could have been more clearer. I didnt know how to plant the free seeds which came with the box. The instructions booklet didnt have the instructions for them and I could only find instructions online for one. Finally there are a lot of seeds but not as much growing space. One pot is a small area for all of those seeds. be careful with how many seeds you put in a pot, instructions are not great there.
In general its a great box to get as a starter! Thanks you
The trees themselves look gorgeous and I can’t wait till they’re grown. The instructions are very clear which is perfect for a beginner like myself. There was even 2 more types of seeds that were thrown in for free! My only complaint is that 2 of the original seeds need ziplock bags for part of the process however only one is provided so if you are planning on growing them all at once like myself you will need your own second ziplock bag. Other than that the product is great and the customer service was 10/10 I was immediately sent an email thanking me for my purchase from the company themselves which was very nice. Highly recommended.
I was sceptical about these at first wondering if they would actually grow but they are genuinely very easy to grow and surprisingly quick too. Within 1 week they have already grown so much! Amazing
Unlike some other kits which have seeds that need 12 weeks of cold exposure before you can germinate them, the seeds in this kit only require a few days at most of preparation before you can plant them out. It’s too early to comment on the germination success as they have only been set off in the last few days but the kit is well presented, has excellent instructions and has everything you need to get started. There’s the added bonus of being able to send off for a mini tool kit for free as well.
So far I’m very happy with my purchase and now look forward to successfully germinating the seeds and adding to my bonsai collection. Recommended purchase on my impressions so fa
This product is exactly what it is.
Its a great price and the seeds they give you is very generous each tree they give around 5 seeds.
Im growing the black pine tree and I’ve got all 5 seeds growing now the only problem is I’ve gotta find a home for them 5 seeds as you only need one stem to grow a tree.
This product also supplies other products separately to care for your bonsai.
Well worth the money! Very happy
However for beginners instructions are not the best but they do give you tutorials to help with it. Bit I would still recommend having a look to see how it’s done firs
Lovely little box that it came in, very excited to start my bonsai journey as I’ve always wanted one. Love that there’s a choice of seeds. Free wooden tools aswell, what’s not to love?! Hoping I have green enough fingers and patience to watch them grow beautifully, will update when this happens.
Attached photos show progress of Black Pine and Wisteria after 3 weeks. Looking good so far. Other seeds are still in the fridge germinating, so can’t tell yet how they are doing. All easy and straight-forward, will have to wait and see what happens as time goes by.
The kit is brilliantly laid out with excellent instructions and seeds, the soil pucks are pre-measured so there’s no faf when trying to pot the seeds. The only thing I would suggest adding would be a moisture sensor of some form to aid in how much to water the plants when germinating.
Received very quickly and product is very good quality. Instructions seem comprehensive, even for complete beginners like myself! Two extra packs of seeds received too, which was a lovely touch. Great support from the company, which I’m sure I will be making use of very soon! Highly recommended either for yourself or would make a perfect and unusual gift.
Bought the kit as a bit of an impulse buy, was expecting the contents as listed in the ad and on the box. Received a lot more than I was expecting (Multiple seeds in each bag & additional seeds that are not even mentioned). Everything is well packaged, and neat, with very clear instructions on how to begin. Additionally, there is a QR code inside the box that you can scan to receive a set of tools for future use. Would definitely recommend to anyone, weather they have been in Bonsai for years, or like me are just giving it a go, as it contains everything you need to get started.
I bought this product as a memorial for my dad, he used to love bonsai trees.
The product came, very helpful with a little booklet inside describing how to plant the seeds, lots of seeds came, 4 little tubs and even cutters to help you trim your bonsai trees.
Very impressed 🙂
Good little kit for beginners, I think! It came with a load of extra seeds and I haven’t had the best luck with all of them but with the price of the kit and all that comes with it, I’ve enjoyed both the successes and failures. I haven’t used up all the seeds yet either as they’re seasonal so it’s something that keeps attention for some time. Growing bonsai in general is not going to be an instant gratification thing but it’s very fun to watch everything grow and I look forward to working with the surviving seedlings to make them proper bonsai.
I am still in the process of preparing half the seeds for planting as some need to go in the fridge. I have potted my wisteria which germinated in a week and was ready to pot in a week (it grew a lot faster than the instructions said). Hopefully it survives. I will update once the other seeds are planted. Very happy if just the wisteria survives.
Hi, brought the kit for myself have planted seeds and fridged other seeds so excited, i am so pleased with the quality of the kit i am going to purchase more for my friends for christmas presents, thankyou for keeping in touch about your product makes me happy hou have passion and pride in your products thankyou again

Having only just recieved them, everything is present that should be. Though it should be note that reviews may be inflated as the product asks for a review to get a free set of tools delivered to you.
Growing 4 types of these seeds now in progress (6 in total provided, 2 extra and the ones listed with thr product), growing well without issues thus far, increasing review score from 4 to 5 stars accordingly now that I know the plant seeds are of good quality.
Never ever did i think for one minute that I could actually grow something from seed !
Never mind one of the most complicated seeds to grow.
Bought this, give it a try , and OMG, 2 weeks later……………..
Pictures of my success lol.
Tell you more in 3 years time if they grow more.
All in all the kit is amazing.
All you need to start out.
The pots they are in now are not included but all planting pots are
Item well packaged, looks great, can’t wait to see them grow
So I expected 4 packs of seeds plus a bonus but got 6 packs of seeds. Some of them aren’t labelled very well which is my only problem with this kit, either not at all or unreadable, I have no idea what some of them are and had to use google to ID some of the ones listed, one pack I have no idea what they are (they are actually labelled its just been smeared during printing). Also the bonus seeds don’t have provided instructions.
You get a decent amount in each packet, the amount depending on the size of the seed, about 6 each of the large Wisteria and Flame, loads of small pine/judas and few less medium maple/mystery seeds.
I followed destructions provided but read online guides for comparison and they were pretty much spot on. I haven’t managed to grow all as far as others, but I have a flame tree (I think lol maybe Judas, I didn’t label it), 2 Wisteria and 5 pine seedlings. The others have failed because of me, either I messed them up (the maple seeds will propagate in wet tissue but mine failed when they got in the soil, I may be too heavy handed when planting them) or I have no idea how to propagate them properly in the case of the mystery seeds. Very few have failed to propagate when soaked at the recommended temperature and refrigerated. And I still have loads left for next year.
The provided pot is nice, thicck durable plastic (the dark grey with a wisteria in pictures), great drainage, would love more, or a 3d printable version, but otherwise I printed some custom ones (white). The plant trimmer falls apart but tbh I consider them free with all the seeds, so never mind, they will do till you get some good ones.
Great for beginners, all you really need is a bit of patience and lots of pots. I am using Westland bonsai potting compost also from amazon and they seem to grow best with a dry bone meal fertilizer.
Wow there growing. Just have a go. Easy to follow instructions each set of seeds are labelled so just follow the instructions for that seed. Some you have to fridge for a while but you make a start straight away. We presented and arrived before time. Will show more pics as they grow. Many thanks .
I have bought this as a little project for myself and I’m honestly so excited. The box arrives with everything you need to get started with very clear instructions. I also received 2 free seeds that were not mentioned so I have got 6 different bonsai trees to grow myself and I can’t wait to get started on my little project in 2-3 weeks when I can take the seeds out of the refrigerato
Arrived swiftly, very well packed, thoughtful instructions and nice email from the owner. Had extra free seeds and they offer free support, you just need to email them but you’ll recieve an email explaining everything. Makes a very nice present and even if I can’t grow it I probably would buy again because is so cute and the owner is so nice!
Speedy delivery, looking forward to growing my plants. Everything you need in kit.
Great service, information clear. Have planted seeds and awaiting arrival of first shoots. Great support and follow up information.
Bought for my wife. The box is a lot smaller, but its full of all you need. I seem to have gotten 6 different brands of tree seeds, which was two more than I expected. Nice little touch with the compact soil and the few pots that are also included.
I am going to buy some additional potting soil for the trees and some food. I did think the box would have had some food, but its only a small miss. I think for the price its a good deal. Will update in a few weeks to let people know if the seeds have taken. Thats why i have only given 4 stars. If the seeds take, have no problem in adding that final sta
Give as a present, which the recipient was happy to receive. Some confusion as there were 6 packets of seeds, with 2 of the packets not mentioned on the packaging. Will have to google to find out more about these rogue seeds as there is no information found in the packaging.
everything there plus 2 free seed packets, planted Mt wisteria today so time will tell
I bought this Bonsai kit for my Grandchildren to grow t heir own bonsai trees. Their Grandad grew a bonsai tree which used to fascinate them, but he passed away last year so the children wanted to grow a bonsai of their own. In the kit was enough for them (four Grandchildren and one girlfriend) to all have two seeds & a pot each the the instructions are very easy to follow. Good value for the cost of the kit and good education for the kids.
An addition- don’t bother trying to get the tool set, its done so you cannot. Another broken promise.
The leaflet was handy, I was a new starter and we purchased them on valentine. But we were smart to do research and some seeds had to be nipped or soaked or stay dorment in the fridge. Research is key. I enclosed pictures and so far 3 of the 6 races have germinated. The flame trees we did not plant, so basicly 3/5 success. Maple and wisteria seeds failed but I’m pretty sure it was my fault due to over/underwatering.
However I am not sure the silk mimosas are the actual Persian silk trees or the mimosa pudica. They bare all the characteristics of the pudica or tickle me not plant which is a shrub, and unsuitable for cultivating in a bonsai. Does anyone has experience or pictures of their mimosa? How they look at later stages? Which race is it specifically?
Thank you
The package arrived promptly and it looks like everything I need is inside. I also got some free seeds and will see how they germinate and grow!
I was about to plant them but just noticed an idea to put them in the fridge to imitate winter, which I will certainly do – it makes a lot of sense.
I will update this review with photos once I have something to take a photo of!
Kind regards,
Olga
Bought as a gift smaller than expected but looks as if will do the job
Well presented kit that was bought as a gift.
Recipient was very happy and has been easily growing the seeds.
I love how easy it is to follow the instructions, this makes growing from seed so easy, I’m looking forward to growing more beautiful bonsai
This kit is really great! It comes with a lot more things than other kite including 2 packs of free extra seeds! People saying they aren’t all labelled are wrong, It is in black writing if not on a sticker. I stupidly planted all the black pine leaves in one pot because I thought they all grew into one tree silly me But they all grew successfully! I’ve sent lots of emails asking questions and had prompt, helpful replies. I’m very happy.
After having received my kit and had a rummage through it, I have to say I’m pleased with the contents.
The range and number of seeds included and supplementary growing bits and Bobs really helps give a good start with bonsai.
The ebook is informative and are the videos on their website.
I have already ordered fertiliser and potting soil from Grow Buddha.
Here’s to some future strong bonsai.
Great stuff.
Fabulous bonsai kit. All you need to get started is included.
It includes the seeds for 4 different bonsai trees.
You got all you need : pots, soil pellets, pot labels and four different sets of seeds to get started.
The value for money is very good.
Good packaging with instructions and almost everything needed to start up a Bonsai. Would have appreciated a few more pots.
This is a really great kit for a beginner. Bought as a gift and is being enjoyed by the recipient.
a bit dissapointed but at the same time excited as i didn’t recieve japanese red maple tree but well still excited with this one.
Given as a gift but well received. Nice starter set and has four different tree varieties inside. Instructions were clear but a bit lacking if being received by a complete novice and required turning to the internet for clarification on how to actually manage the trees once germinated. Looking forward to watching how things grow.
I am overjoyed with my kit. I love growing new plants so i wanted a challenge. The kit comes complete woth everything you need to start of 4 different bonsais. I was also.given 2 FREE packs of seeds
A mimosa tree (which is funny as im actually growing my first mimosa plant this year already!!)
Also some flame tree seeds.
I have now potted 4 seeds using rhe fantastic products provided. So easy. And i am so excited to see my first bonsais popping up.
Thank you GrowBudda! I will be reccomending. And purchasing your bonsai food as soon as needed.
Well packed and quick delivery. Very clear instruction booklet included with the kit. One of the seed packs (Japanese White Pine) has already germinated and I have several healthy looking shoots. The other take a lot more time so I will have to wait and see. So far, so good and I am enjoying the process.
Simple but perfectly adequate kit for growing several different types of plant suitable for bonsai development, although be aware you’ll need access to the website for the bonsai process itself. Kit initially arrived with a large collection of seeds, only two of which were covered by the paper instructions, but on contacting the team we were sent both missing seed types plus a generous set of extras, as well as links explaining how to grow the other seeds. The soil pellets seem to be nourishing and weed-free, and our Japanese Black Pine is spouting happily three weeks in. We look forward to seeing how our luck goes with the others!
Was so sceptical at first, i can’t grow anything from seeds, but thought I’d give it a go. I first started off with all the wisteria tree seeds. Followed instructions, and within 2 weeks, all have sprouted! I currenyly have the japanese maple in the fridge, and they will be ready to plant in about 4 weeks.
The key with bonsai is to be PATIENT. They will grow, but in the right circumstanaces, lots of sunlight and if the soil is moist, but not soggy.
Can’t wait to see how they grow into trees!
My kit arrived and I had 2 yes 2 free types of seeds, the four provided will be beautiful trees and I now have two more to add to my collection.
Each packet of seeds has 6 of the bigger seeds and roughly 10 if not more of the smaller seeds so plenty to make sure you sprout some bonsais.
Instruction leaflet inside gives you step by step instructions for each bonsai tree/seed really fool proof.
Currently have mine germinating in the fridge and can’t wait to get these potted.
Came very quickly, everything neatly packaged with instructions and extra seeds too, great price! Looking forward to getting started – and making sure to follow the instructions and put the seeds in the fridge before!
Quite a few different seeds for different bonsai trees. Can’t wait to see them grow. Bought as a gift for my husband. He was thrilled
I think seeds are good quality, provided instructions are good, just really need to follow them.. pots or the soul is not really good, as it gets really dry and pots got moldy, but apart from is good produkt. Need to put effort and some knowledge about growing and bonsai, and patience.. we have so far 12 growing bonsai, others seeds are still in soil, waiting for them.. we are not expecting all to come for sure. The best so far is black pine.
Bought for my mums birthday. According to info on the internet the seeds have to be put in the fridge for 3 months before doing anything else, so they are in the fridge. Time will tell if they actually grow, but it was something different as a present, and she is looking forward to growing them in her conservatory.
Bought it just to give it a try. I know it would be easier (and much quicker) to buy a grown bonsai tree, but wanted to do it from scratch.
Good kit, with some basic printed information but more on the website. Had fun with my daughter planting them and so far we’ve small lovely plants.
Seedling are starting to grow. Gotta keep seeds in the fridge for about a month first of all and soak the compost tablets well. Keep moist but not waterlogged and you’ll be fine
As long as you follow the instructions carefully to the letter you are going to enjoy this I promise. some of the reviews sound bad but that’s obviously because people did not read the instructions thoroughly. I strongly recommend you read from the beginning of the booklet to the end of the booklet and read it over and over again at each stage. we were amazed at how easy this has been and since Christmas we have had so much fun trying to plant different seeds at different times and you can see from the photo that our efforts are paying off. if we have to wait 2 to 3 years for a bonsai tree and it’s going to be this much fun then we are extremely happy and we cannot wait. Very secure packaging when the seeds arrived, easy to follow instructions and great customer service. I look forward to buying more things from easy bonsai Grow Buddha.
I have only germinated the black pine seeds so far, but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The video tutorials were helpful too. Hopefully the other seeds germinate well too.
I brought this as a gift & its perfect, were yet to see the out come of the plants as I seen someone advise to put the seeds in the fridge for 3-4 weeks but the tools provided and instructions are great!
Received the package of course really quickly. Am trying to make sure I follow the instructions to the letter. I have reservations about the translation of the booklet, it recommends putting the seeds in the fridge for a week or two to stimulate winter, but doesnt really specify if this is seed specific – do the Japanese maples need it?
Also I appreciate the extra gift seeds! But if that was the case an extra gift pot and soil would be appreciated. Overall though, positive so far!
Until I get these seeds going I can’t comment on the quality of the important part. The ‘bonsai pot’ is disappointing but there are plenty of seeds which I’m excited to get started.
Delivery was swift and it contains items as shown.
Arrived on time and is exactly as described and shown, will update in a few months once planted
Update: followed the instruction within the set which were very easy to follow and had great fun planting the seeds. Only downside was all but 4 of the seeds so far germinated into seedlings but I am happy and having great fun tending to them and watching them grow.
PS I have 3 Japanese black pine and one red maple
Everything is all nice an compact.
Would make a brilliant present .co.uk

Your Accou
I bought this for my daughter as a gift to celebrate Chinese New Year. There are 4 differnt Bonzai trees to grow which are beautiful. The kit comes with all you need to start your trees off, icluding trimmers, labels four compost pots and an instruction booklet on how to begin the growing process. There is one replanting pot so wou will need to buy 3 others if you intend to do them all at once, however the initial first few weeks are provided for to get you going. It’s a brilliant gift and my daughter is delighted with it. I’d recommend it to anyone with an interest in Bonzai trees!
Can’t comment on how the trees grow as we haven’t started it yet but as a set it appears to contain everything you would need to begin.
Comes with 4 different types of tree, plant pots, soil, plant trimmer, plant name tags & instruction booklet.
Will update once we’ve planted.
Great starter pack. Clear instructions. The black pine seeds have germinated pretty well (see one in the photo). Still waiting on the other seeds finishing their stratification process.
Will be interesting to see how the seeds develop. Enjoying my product!!
Although the box in the interior came smashed (and the other box intact which seems like they packaged it with defect from the begging), it came with everything intact and 2 extra packs of seeds. Great overall, especially for the price and will update as soon as I see changes.
Happy with this product bought for my own use but would make a great gift for someone too. Arrived the next day. The booklet it good there’s also handy videos online. Already have some seeds soaking and some already sown excited for my Bonsai journey!
Cute little set, especially if you want a small hobby to do during lockdown! Only issue is two of the peat pots have huge holes in, two are still intact tho. Will update when I plant the seeds
I have often looked at Bonsai’s but never really felt like I had time, due to lockdown currently working from home and thought this would be a great thing to do seeing as I have put it off for years. in hindsight, I should have started it years ago and now I would be pruning. Love the different varieties and lovely little box with all your bits. Thank you 🙂
arrived in good condition
instructions are clear and easy to follow
hard to give further review until trees grow but so far so good
not sure if i will recieve the free tool kit for reviewing though there is no information that explains the process
Seed labels are difficult to read and print in the booklet is small but detailed and well-laid out. Also requires additional products not available in kit (ie. lots of seeds but only 4 pots) so being able to improvise or having more available is essential.
I saw on the box that this company asks for a review and seeing as it was a pretty good product I thought I would give my feedback. This is a great bonsai kit – comes with 4 packs of different seeds ( I also received 2 free packages of seeds as gifts!), A pair of snippers, biodegradable starter pots x 4, an actual plastic bonsai pot x 1, Coco coir discs and an instruction guide. Definitely recommend this kit for anyone wanting to start some bonsai trees. Also a great price compared with other kits that offer way less.
Very good product, hard to judge from the get go though as need to wait to see if they grow. Definitely a good gift for anybody that would like it. Easy instructions to follow for a beginner – wish they gave more large pots to plant them in after.
Arrived promptly, a nice little gift. Having looked at the instructions, not a particularly straight forward or quick process but looking forward to having a go. Although instruction book is a little small there appears to be good on line further info.
Omg I don’t know where to start
I’m the original all plants die if I touch them person
At the moment I’m blown away and smiling ear to ear
The photos attached are the mimosa seeds after 4 days I planted on 03/12/20 and took the pictures this morning on 07/12/20
It did say it could take up to 12 weeks to see germination so imagine my surprise
I do have other varieties planted which haven’t germinated yet
I’m not sure if it because I used a covered nursery tray as like I said I can never grow anything
The instructions in the pack was great , the fact they included free seeds was unexpected and the customer service was great as I emailed with question and got replies almost immediately
I think I’ll change my name to the bonsai king of north London
Thank you growbuddha the exhilaration is unbelievable x
I received my bonsai starter kit today and to my surprise there are free seeds in the box, I’m really looking forward to making a start on growing them
Edit:
out of all the seeds only the black pine has grown so far, but I’ve got the others under a grow lamp so hopefully they will grow soon,
Second edit:
The free tools arrived last week, they were very useful today has I used them to repot the black pine
Lovely little kit, well packaged with a clear instruction booklet. Combine the book with the free E-Book and online video tutorials and you get everything need to make this a succes but I also suspect you need a whole lot of luck. It’s too early to tell yet as I’ve just potted or refridgerated the seeds so I’ll update later but there’s not a lot more the supplier can do about that. The free pot, leaf trimmers and extra seeds are also a very nice touch. I emailed them to ask a question and got a reply within a couple of hours…on a Sunday; so 10/10 for effort.
The way the kit is packaged and presented means that it would also make a lovely gift for someone.
Having purchased mature Bonsai trees in the past I am looking forward to growing my own from seed. The instruction guide appears to be comprehensive. if in doubt there appears to be plenty of on line support from Grow Buddha. I am looking forward to watching these seeds grow into mature trees. I am considering giving these seeds as presents
Bought this without any knowledge of bonsais, the instructions and video tutorials were all very easy to follow and have since planted the pine tree and japanese maple as well as the flame tree seeds which came free with my set. Some of the flame tree and pine tree seeds have started germinating, and although it doesn’t say it in the instructions, after doing a bit of research i learnt it was best to put all seeds in the fridge before planting to accelerate germination, and fingers crossed ill get some good bonsai trees growing. All in all a very good se
Bought as a complete beginner. In pic are my 3-4 week old Japanese black pines. 5/6 have germinated into seedlings 5 weeks on. Ive got the red maples and judas trees in fridge for now. I would advise reading on the internet about the specific tree you want to grow. Very good value for money. Even comes with some free seeds too, which is nice, although they seem to differ. My girlfriend got free flame tree and pomegrannate seeds, i got flame tree and silk mimosa tree seeds. All in all, good as a gif
I was looking for some tools and any bonsai books to work on a tree I took over from a friend and stumbled upon a lot of kits. After a lot of thinking I went with this one since it had the tools, pot and instructions in both paper and e-book form. As it says beginner friendly am gonna touch on that topic and say, yeah they give you everything you need to start growing your tree and basic tips on how to keep it healthy. One thing I would improve is the quality of the printed booklet, it was quite bend because it wont fit in the box and felt like the pages will fall off. So I would prefer a smaller page with a thicker spine booklet.
My daughter loves Bonsai trees and this is a great kit to start with.
Kit arrived auckly as was well packaged
Box contents exactly as described and of good quality – everything needed to get started.
Instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Would recommend as a starter Bonsai kit.
Update 1:
A couple of months later and quite a few of the seeds did germinate. Some didn’t fair as well as others, but I think that’s down to how I’ve tended them and the environment. I’m very much a beginner. Plenty still have yet to germinate, but from what I understand, patience is key. I’ll be trying the fertiliser to hopefully create some strong saplings. Watch this space.
Initial review:
Package arrived safely and on time with everything included as advertised, plus a nice courtesy email to offer additional support if needed. There’s a comprehensive e-book included, so I’m hoping it will guide this complete beginner through his first bonsai growing experience. Not much more to say at the moment, other than I’m part way through the book, and I’m looking forward to getting started. From reading the other reviews, this should be good fun! I’ll update later on in the year.

it came well packaged but was smaller than expected, the instructions in the written booklet are super clear and step by step on what to do. i received two extra type of bonsai trees for free which was so lovely, i wish there was a little print off of how to care for them but i just googled it. all the seeds looked to be of good quality, none were cracked or broken, no mould or anything. the little compost circles given are very good, just pop them in some water and they expand within minutes, they fit perfectly into the small brown pots given in the box
i have planted the black pine and one of the free seeds called the flame tree this morning, and i will update this review when they sprout in a few weeks.

the flame tree has sprouted!!
Bought this kit and wanted to try it out after starting to grow an indoor avacado tree. The instructions given seem clear I have not yet started to grow mine. You can claim a wooden toolset by writing a review hence this review. I will update at a later notice.
In the last one we bought we planted 20, 5 of those successfully germinated and out of those 1 has survived. Now that’s not to say that this is entirely the product’s fault, but we have found some inconsistencies. In the first pack we bought the seeds seem to have germinated a spiecies that we couldn’t identify based on the leaf, leading us to believe it might’ve been an innocent seed mixup.
The seeds themselves we’ve been going with our second batch for about 3 weeks now and still no signs of germination from the ones that don’t require the 6-8 week “chill” period to simulate winter. Though my partner said last time it was over a month before they did so we’re still hopeful.
This kit is good to start you off but it’d highly recommend researching different plant diseases etc so that you can be in the know as to why your plant is dying during the process of growing, it’ll be slow, and there’ll be a lot of problems in the way that this kit just doesn’t prepare you for.
As mentioned above it was a bit more tricky with plants that we weren’t able to identify by the leaf shape. It’s definitely a patience game and always a gamble getting good seeds, so it’s good to start off with but not for people without patience.
Inside the box:
x4 seeds (red maple, judas, wisteria, japanese black pine)
x2 free seeds (flame tree, pomegrante) Thank you!
x1 Big pot
x4 peat pots
x5 plant name tags
x4 soil disk
x1 Instruction booklet
Great bonsai starter kit, with good clear instructions on how to grow them. I have currently soaked my seeds and waiting 24-48hrs until I sow them or refrigerate as required for 4-6 weeks. Good luck to you all!
I bought this for my 8 year old son who has recently discovered the loveliness of Bonsai trees….this kit kept him engaged and excited about having his very own- in particular the Black Pine…the instructions were easy to follow with the bits and pieces needed to get started growing, it would definitely make a lovely gift for someone you know would appreciate a bit of nature in their home.
Very Pleased! 🙂
I bort this for my 16-year-old grandson who loves games and plants, I want to make him happy through this pandemic by buying this bonsai thing and let him work on it by himself to see if he can look after it and now he happy that he gets to grow his bonsai tree. However, my grandson said that he did expect there to be two more seeds.
The Bonsai tree starter pack has a lot of items in it. From the 4 types of seeds as advertised, there are bio degradable pots, a larger green plastic pot, starter soil and plastic markers. But for me I really like the well presented 7 page growing guide the best. There are also free extras. Two bags of free seeds, a cutter, and the option to send off for a free three part wooden tool set care kit (tiny shovel, rake). Very happy with it.
Got this as a gift to my “green-fingered” sister. Fantastic for the price, kit includes a lot of seeds and she managed to grew almost all species.
I highly recommend it!
Could be improved with more detailed instructions (for example pertaining to the different seeds) and additional carton pots.
A really nice simple way to grow Bonsai. Clear, simple instructions to soften seeds, germinate and maintain.
The Wisteria has been a clear winner and within 3 weeks has already grown about 6 inches. Be patient though as I don’t think this is normal. Fun for kids and an easy original gift idea too.
I received my starter set and was pleasantly surprised at the packaging. For such a reasonably modest price it was quite nice. I initially had problems with the qr codes for instructions but overcame them by using my tablet browser instead of smartphone. Once loaded up, the instructions were relatively clear. I was also surprised that you got between 4 and 6 seeds of each variety plus 2 different sets of seeds for free. The seeds are soaking, ready for planting in the next 12-24 hours.
This is not a short term or quick project as it will be a few months before you see any real growth and can take 1 – 3 years before fully ready for the art of bonsai shaping and training so be prepared for that.
For the price I paid, I’d be happy if at least 2 of the varieties grow to trees. If all 4 (plus free ones) grow then I’d. E over the moon. For the price I’d definitely recommend you give them a go.
Cute product that makes neat gift, comes with some bonus seeds which was a nice surprise, plus had sucess with growing!
Out of the 5 of each seed type recieved the following have germinated:
3 Wistera
2 Pomegranate (Bonus Seeds)
2 Flame Tree (Bonus Seeds) (technically three but I accidently killed one whilst repotting)
1 Black Pine
So far none of the Red Maple or Judas tree are showing signs of life but they could take a few months supposedly…
Overall I would say its been a success, just be very patient and water daily. I followed the little instruction book to the letter and the pictures are my results so far. I have grand plans for these little seedlings and I am keen to continue nurturing them.
So far im germinating my seeds.
ill keep up updates after i’ve potted em.
likes:
-i loved that they gave u 2 free seeds
-i loved that they had instruction videos with is and an instruction little book.
-i loved that they make it easy to understand for anyone who has never grown bonsai before.
-i loved the quality of the seeds, pots, soil, tree clipper and plant tag signs.
dislikes:
-i disliked that the video instructions were sometimes diffrent
-i thought they wouldve also added some information on how much water you have to give after they were planted and per how many days.
-i thought they wouldve added information or instructions about how to take care and shape your bonsai after you’ve potted it. (about wiring and closing up wounds and shaping the bonsai)
Edit:
Only one of all of the seeds grew.. and i cant communicate with the owner.
I was so excited to receive my bonsai starter pack and couldn’t wait to get started. Easy to understand instructions and everything you need to get started are all included in this little box. I have now planted the Wisteria and Red Maple and will wait patiently for them to germinate. This is a great way of getting started into the world of growing and looking after Bonsai. The Kit also comes with an e-book which provides full instructions and teaches you all you need to know. Instruction manual and bonsai tree clippers are also included. Very good value for money.
I ordered this beginner set as I have tried previously to grow my own bonsai and failed. I must say, this little kit is AWESOME. I got everything that was advertised and I also received Fire plant seeds and Sunflower seeds, the little pot in the pack is great too as most Bonsai pots can be quite expensive.
I followed the instructions for the Juniper and Wisteria trees and planted the seeds. I have planted all Black Pine seeds into one bio-degradable pot (which I now realise was a mistake) and split the Wisteria seeds into two pots (one pot with 3 x seeds and 2 x in the other) After only 10 days I have a Wisteria shoot around 1 inch tall (See pictures). This is the most luck I have had from growing any Bonsai from seed and I am constantly checking it to see how it is getting on. I have the Japanese Maple seeds in my refrigerator and they have been there for around 2 x weeks, I know that these can be a lot trickier to grow as they have a different and more advanced process to get them to sprout from the seed.
My initial review is extremely positive and I have still got the Judas Tree seeds to start, however I will do this once my Japanese Maple seeds are ready to pot. I purchased small propagation kits and this seems to have helped my Wisteria seeds, they can be picked up for 2 each and I will be using my other one to plant in the kit instead of in the bio-degradable pot to see if that helps too.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking to start this as a hobby, I have no complaints and would definitely purchase more from the buyer.
After success with my first ever attempt at growing anything (a variety of chilli plants) I decided to give bonsai trees a go. Had a look at a fet kits on amazon and decided to give this one a go.
Arrived very quickly. Extremely easy to follow instructions and contains everything to get started. The 2 free samples were great too as one was also a bonsai tree.
Absolutely love this set, the instructions are easy to follow and set up and there’s an instructional video if you’re unsure. When I received my set it came with two free sets of seeds! Flame Tree bonsai and sunflower seeds! Such a lovely surprise!!
I really look forward to seeing what grows and I am really happy of the quality of the set!! So lovely, it would make a wonderful gift!!
I have yet to see the seeds sprout (takes a few weeks) but the quality of the kit is fantastic. The instructions definitely tell you exactly what to do, however I would have liked a little more information about the repotting process (ie do bonsais need special kinds of soil?) but it’s nothing that I can’t find on the internet 🙂
Kit even came with some free other kinds of seeds :). Really fantastic and nice to see that the seller cares about the customer.
BONSAI SEED KIT
Nice product, well packed and arrived on time. I had previously grown bonsai from seeds but they were damaged (Killed!) in our recent move.
I wanted to start again and the vibrant packaging leapt off the page at me. There was also a lovely unexpected bonus included with the kit – 2 extra seed varieties which added value to my purchase. I am looking at your other products and will probably be ordering the chilli kit and owl pots. Thanks…CZ
Box arrived promptly, well packaged – everything needed to get started and contents exactly as described/illustrated.
The clippers are of good quality, sharp and easy enough for smaller hands to use.
Enough seeds of each of the 4 tree varieties to allow for some not germinating (not tried any just yet).
A nice little touch (which delighted my daughter) was to find some additional Free Pomegranate seeds AND some Sunflower seeds in there too.
Instructions are well-written and comprehensive, with tips and guidance for the germination process and general planting needs of each tree.
The pot is a durable plastic, but this can be useful for improved water-retention compared to terracotta and it still looks nice.
Would definitely recommend as a starter Kit and feel it is likely to provide years of interest and educational value too.
Thank you very much for the bonus seeds enclosed in the package, a very nice touch and I shall be using them.
