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.

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!

Totally happy. Great directions (with pictures) that step by step take you through stages of life. I'm pumped to see my first sign of life.

Followed directions carefully, but never grew.

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!
