Brussel's Bonsai Live Fukien Tea Bonsai Tree - Small, 6 Year, 6 to 8 inches Tall - Indoor Bonsai Tree Live with Ceramic Bonsai Pot and Bonsai Tray

This is my second tree from Brussel's Bonsai, and once again, they delivered an amazingly healthy tree. There was a delay with the shipping that caused my bonsai to be delivered during the sudden polar vortex that sprang up overnight. It had me worried that the tree would succumb to the sudden cold, but it arrived in perfect condition and didn't even drop a leaf from its travels. The styling on this bonsai was also very nice. I'm very pleased.

1. Arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. 2. As expected, it began losing leaves immediately. 3. We watered it every day and have begun spritzing it daily in the last week. New growth began appearing within a couple of days after arrival. 4. Purchased a grow light after about 5 days. 5. As of now it is growing like crazy, putting out new leaves and even flowering. It already began touching the grow lights so we relocated them more off to the sides. We may have to buy taller lights! 6. The first uploaded picture shows it outside on the first day or so. We then brought it inside. The next picture shows it today with the lights and the third picture is of the little flower. SUMMARY: With the simple care noted above it is growing quickly and getting more and more beautiful. RECOMMENDED!!

Horrible. Arrived completely black, crispy & dead. Also, knowing it's on the 20's here there was no heat pad & soil had been soaked down so it was completely frozen. Size - good but dead Healtwise dead. Ease of growth - dead Sturdiness - it was sturdy because stems were also dead, petrified.

I really don't think I've ever been so happy with a purchase, PERIOD. I made sure to wait at least 2 weeks before writing my review to make sure the bonsai both arrived healthy and stayed that way after the shipment process and whatnot. The first picture I've included is how my bonsai looks now, well over two weeks after it arrived, and all those after are sequential throughout the past few weeks! I searched for a while on Amazon for the perfect bonsai-- I'm in medical school, so really wanted one to have something in my bedroom which is calming, natural and grounding like a bonsai to help with the stress. I have a cat, so had to do some searching for a species which isn't toxic to animals, and landed on a Fukien. I also wanted to purchase a bonsai which was already fairly tall/aged so that I could appreciate it right away and increase the chances of it surviving with me! First off, the bonsai was packed impeccably, by which I mean I was astonished to see that not a single leaf had fallen during shipping and even all of its beautiful, little white flowers were still perfectly intact. I thought that surely it would have sustained some kind of damage during shipping, but this company clearly takes great care in ensuring their plants make it to their destination safe. Second, the product photos provided in the description do it NO JUSTICE! The tree was far more beautiful than I ever imagined right out of the box, and even was in bloom with small white flowers. I assumed that it would be untrimmed and I'd have to prune it to make it look like the stock photo, but it came out of the box exactly as it is now-- I did nothing to it! Specifics after unpacking my sweet lil' bonsai: The bonsai comes in the plastic soil planter as pictured in the stock photos. I bought the planter in my photos off of Amazon at the same time (a 10" diameter draining planter), as I wanted a larger, more aesthetically pleasing planter for my bonsai to live in long term. I did some reading on bonsai and found that they need good drainage capabilities to do well, so I also bought cactus/succulent soil (high drainage soil type) at Lowe's to pack the rest of the area around the planter. The plastic container it arrives in is 6" tall and the planter I bought is 5" tall, and I actually love the way it made the bonsai appear as if it were on its own little island after packing the soil around it (I wanted to be sure to not disturb its existing root system at all, so I cut away the plastic and planted it totally intact). Then I bought some lapis lazuli pebbles off of amazon to look like water surrounding it, as well as the cute little figurine! In the first few days, I got nervous because some of the leaves started turning yellow and falling off, so I was worried I'd under-watered or damaged it during potting, or that it couldn't survive the shipping process. However, after about 3 days of yellow leaves coming and going, it's now all green, looking great, and has tons more little white flower blooms! This is an unbeatable product, especially for the price of $50! I will 10000% be buying another bonsai from this company and would recommend it to anyone! I love it and look forward to years to come with it!

Delivered early, picture Perfect. With lots of character. 100% exactly as shown. Bright vibrant leaves and twisty bark as if it were 100 years old. A great gift.

This little tree arrived safely and well packed. Not a fan of the styrofoam peanuts though , they went everywhere! The seller did state to expect some leaf drop..but this one dropped almost all of its leaves! They were dried up and had grey areas. I had purchased the tray with gravel,so I soaked the tree, and allowed the tray to fill just over the gravel. I also mist it frequently. Now here it is looking much happier with vibrant green leaves. I think the tray and gravel are an important add on ,so get them if you are thinking about a bonsai. UPDATE: My little tree has now developed lush foliage and is even putting out little buds! Again, I think the south facing window, humidity tray and misting make a big difference.After I purchased this bonsai I learned that it is not a good one for beginners so I think I must have the ideal situation for it. I’m reluctant to prune it or move it or anything else that may upset it , so I’ll see how it does just as it is.

Love the aesthetic and natural lines of the tree, but his plant didn’t arrive healthy. Hoping it acclimates. Followed the directions for watering and direct sunlight, but about half the leaves have darkness and have fallen off on their own. Ordered one for a friend as a gift and hop it’s better than mine.
