Bonsai Tree | Japanese Black Pine | Seed Grow Kit | The Jonsteen Company

This was purchased as a gift for my father, as he is a huge, bonsai lover! I love that it comes in a compact can, as this is a wonderful, stocking, stuffer gift! He loved it

This isn’t the first time I’ve attempted to grow a bonsai from seed, and I’ve been successful every other time. Despite having some experience in this, I followed the included directions exactly, even where they differed slightly from my typical process. The result is a moldy mess of dirt and no sprouts—because, well, the seeds are molded too. I can’t say for sure if the seeds were viable and just needed a different process or if they would have failed regardless, but I don’t think I would recommend this for beginners in either case.

Most of the seeds sprouted and are doing well.

Well it’s hasn’t actually grown yet, but was pretty simple and packaged well.. hopefully we get a tree!

Looks like it was stomped on and what was found stuffed back in as top tin was inside and its missing seeds and one green bag. Greenhouse top was smashed, and bottom was crushed in bottom tin. Not sure how or where it happened. Replacement on the way.

Presentation is good however the plants grow to a certain point and then they just die. Not happy with it.

I followed the instructions exactly as they wrote them, but my seeds rotted. They were, however, very kind to send me some replacement seeds. Waiting to see if I more luck with round 2!
