I've never purchased this type of shears before but, they are working very well and, Iam happy with them.the price seems fair and, the quaility is good.
I got this gardenia bonsai in mid-February and it is not as I expected. Upon opening the package, the leaves are dull green, no buds, dried out and mostly dark brown. I followed the instruction and even did some research work through the internet. I even bought extra stuffs like plant food, cool mist humidifier just to revive the plant. Well now, after 3 weeks, 90% of the leaves are gone, branches bare, looks like those bare trees that you see during winter. I tried to contact the merchant and ask for advise, but I did not get any response. I have other bonsais and regular gardenias that are healthy and I really wanted this gardenia bonsai so bad.
I was expecting a ceramic tray after reading the other review posted.I should have guessed from the price, but it's just a cheap plastic tray.I'm sure aesthetics aside it works perfectly...but is that what the art of bonsai is about?
I liked this wire for my bonsai because it is easy to get around the branches and sturdy enough to keep them in place. I am training a wisteria and the branches can be very stubborn because I got it late in its life, and this wire has proved invaluable.
I ordered a gardenia bonsai from Brussel's Bonsai. It arrived well packaged, healthy, and with flower buds! I am very pleased with the purchase and would order from them again.

This was my first order from Hirt's Gardens...I'm a believer!!
How do I rate fertizer? Some jerk put soap in all my Bonsai plants. He or she prolly thought it was some kinda joke so how am I gonna rate fertizer that I bought to bring em all back to life. The instructions were to put 1/4 spoon full of these spread throughout the plant so I put 1/2 spoon full just to bring em back to life. I will up grade this review in a couple months just to tell you dudes how it all turned out. See you then...
I read at a Russian website that the seeds must not be buried as they need light to germinate, also they're sown February-March and the soil has to be kept warm. Underwatering or overwatering is also harmful, and they need plenty of light and relatively low temperatures (about 18C in summer). Also clean air and no cold drafts, and they rarely bloom in a room. I think I'm going to try, because imagine a fairy blue bonsai :) And no need of Raid in the summer :P*
Eucalyptus is an enormous and fascinating genus. It comprises over 700 species, and accounts for more than two-thirds of Australia's vegetation. It is unfortunate that they are frequently regarded as not being reliably hardy outside of the subtropics, because it discourages people from planting them in cooler areas. There are many reasons to plant a eucalyptus--to begin with, they help to control aphids and other insects, most of them will grow rapidly, even in poor soil (12' per year is not out of the question), and most of them are very attractive--eucalyptus have a beauty all their own. And eucalyptus foliage, which shows incredible variety, is excellent for cut foliage in floral arrangements.
Unless it is to be grown as a pot plant for its entire life (more on that below), a eucalyptus seedling must be planted as soon as possible, before too many roots reach the edges and bottom of its pot. Eucalyptus ought to be planted when they are no more than 8 - 14 inches in height.
This tree is a native of Australia, but nowadays it is popular in European and American ornamental gardens. The foliage has an attractive silvery-bluish colour and a fine, aromatic fragrance which keeps gnats at bay. Growth is extremely rapid.
Culture: Sun or part shade. Hardy in zones 7-10. Can also be grown as a patio plant, outdoors in the summer, indoors in the winter.
Uses: Ornamental plantings, hedges or windbreaks, shade trees, firewood, cut flowers, foliage and fruits, frost-resistant plant.Definitely one you should have!

The base of the tree was thicker than the one shown in the picture.The I received has a nice taper.A nice touch, there was a little bit of moss growing over the dirt.
So far, this Crepe Myrtle has not shown one flower, nor the potential for any flowers, and, in fact it did not look good when I got it, about 30 days ago.I will provide an update if it starts looking healthier and beautiful like the picture.Product did arrive quickly.Also, the greenery is not near as full as the picture shown.
I have found that first reviews are rarely helpful to me, the shopper, as my sensitivity to bias is heightened by the "first" review. I picture the seller sitting on his/her friends computer writing the first review for her/his product to get sales going. But I assure you, I am not that guy/girl. But then who that writes a great review is not bias. You have to be when you receive a great product, as is the case here. 
Much to my great suprise, this seed is already sprouting! *
I've traveled into NYC to the flower district, and shopped in Bonzai shops, and picked up pretty good Bonzai over the years.NONE have compared to the quality and beauty of the bonzai from this source.
It arrived in perfect condition and the trunk has been beautifully training into an "S" shape without any trunk scarring.The little fukien leaves were nice and shiny and it had the little white flower bloom.A very beautiful tree it is.
Bonsai showed up three days after ordering. It was packed very well and was very healthy. It is a beautiful tree. Much better then the picture shows. I highly recommend this.
I am very disappointed about the product, I received a juniper tree newly planted into a CHEAP clay/ceramic pot; it had a crack when received and it is DEFINITELY not a Japanese pot as claimed!My wife, who purchased this tree for me, should have read the reviews carefully before purchase.When I read them, I found it weird that NONE of the good reviews (except for the negative comment) referred to [ASIN:B000M646KM LOU'S BONSAI NURSERY JUNIPER BONSAI TREE IN JAPANESE POT], they all were praising LOUS for different items and reasons????
I got my first bonsai back in 1973, and I know quality when I see it.The trident maple bonsai forest which I received from them was definitely high quality - beyond what I expected.
The first tree I ordered was badly scarred by wires.The company replaced it quickly with a very nice tree that had a great shape.The ficus is great if you have little natural light.My apartment is very dark and the tree did fine off of the artificial light.That said, this is NOT a tree for beginners.Ficus are notoriously finicky.They like regular water and the same light conditions day after day.Each time you vary the routiine significantly, it will drop all of its leaves.Moreover, this plant was hard to water.The pot doesn't have enough room for the water to soak in, so I had to use a spray bottle and lots of patience.It needs to be watered daily.
These seeds were purchased early in August 2008.When they arrived all 50 seeds were immediately sowed.This is important because the seeds remain viable for only a few months and I had no information as to when the seeds were extracted.
The seeds I got were clearly non viable and I threw all but one in the garbage. Terrible customer service as well.I emailed 4 times to 3 different email addresses they have posted and never got a response.
This Bonsai is really cool.It came on time and just as in the picture.The rocks and zen fisherman are so unique, friends keep asking where I found this bonsai!Looks really cool in my apartment, I recommend this seller and this bonsai tree. I've bought many great plants from them. thanks!!
A very nice set of bonsai tools at an affordable price. Everything is well made and sharp. One note: the scissors may be a bit awkward to handle if one has small hands.
The Bonsai Jade came in beautiful condition (exactly like the image)!Shipping was not only faster than expected (3 days) it was also packaged very well.There was no damage & it was very well watered. It also came w/a great little care instructions pamphlet.Finally, the price was almost half as much as I've seen in retail stores.Very satisfied!!
I received this tree only 3 days after I ordered it!It's beautiful!It has a nice fat trunk and looks exactly like the picture.It shows no signs of insects or disease. It came in a good quality pot.I'm sure I'll have this tree for a long time.
Bonsai arrived very quickly with proper packaging.
First let me say that I was disappointed with a bonsai starter kit that I had ordered from this company before. The seeds included in the box set where all crushed and had to be trashed. I was expecting the same when it came to these, but was surprised when I found that they were wrapped in protective bubble wrapping and packaged with peanuts. There was loose bits in the bag or anything. *

Bonsai Tool 10-piece Set
I received this bonsai as a gift.I was very wary at first, because I have killed numerous bonsai in the past, but this one was different.Well established, it thrived even when I forgot to water it for a few days.It has a healthy growth, a nice planter which comes with it, and a decorative rock.I would definately recommend this bonsai for those who really want to try a bonsai but haven't had much luck in the past!
