What’s Included

• 1 × round plastic bonsai bowl
• 1 × 100 mm diameter round coir disc
• Sweetgum seeds (Liquidambar formosana)
• Juniper seeds
• Jerusalem Pine seeds (Pinus halepensis)
• Instruction leaflet
• Eco-friendly hexagonal postal box, printed with natural inks and fully compostable

Meet the Trees

• Sweetgum (Liquidambar formosana): Distinctive maple-like leaves that shift from green to red, orange and yellow in autumn. A colourful deciduous bonsai choice .
• Juniper: A hardy evergreen with fine, fragrant foliage. Juniper bonsai are a traditional favourite, valued for their sculptural form and resilience.
• Jerusalem Pine (Pinus halepensis): Classic bonsai shape with sculptural needles and strong evergreen growth. Provides year-round structure .

How to Grow

• Step 1 – Prepare Coir: Add water to the coir disc until fully expanded, breaking up any lumps.
• Step 2 – Sow Seeds: Place 3–4 seeds on the surface, press lightly, and cover with a thin layer of coir.
• Step 3 – Position: Keep in a warm, bright spot and maintain even moisture. Germination times vary by species (2–6 weeks).
• Step 4 – Transplant: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, carefully transplant into the bonsai bowl. Handle roots gently to avoid damage.

Top Tips for Best Results

• Maintain regular watering, but avoid overwatering — moist, not waterlogged, soil is best.
• Prune regularly to shape your bonsai and encourage branching.
• Feed with bonsai fertiliser to promote strong growth and colour.
• Be patient: Bonsai are slow-growing but incredibly rewarding.
